AI 中文摘要
本文研究有限支撑离散随机变量的Shannon、Rényi及Tsallis外熵插件估计器的有限样本偏差。通过分析中间泛函S_α=∑_(i=1)^r (1-p_i)^α的偏差,推导得到这三类估计器的显式一阶偏差公式,进而提出偏差校正后的估计器。研究表明,未校正与校正后的估计器渐近等价,仅相差O(1/n)阶项。模拟研究验证了理论结果,证实偏差校正估计器的有限样本性能更优。所得结果支持在渐近场景(如关于几乎必然收敛与渐近正态性的配套论文所考虑的场景)中使用更简单的未校正插件估计器。
英文摘要
This paper studies the finite-sample bias of plug-in estimators for Shannon, Rényi, and Tsallis extropies for finitely supported discrete random variables. We derive explicit first-order bias formulas for all three estimators by analyzing the bias of the intermediate functional S_α= \sum_{i=1}^r (1-p_i)^α. Bias-corrected estimators are then proposed. We show that the uncorrected and corrected estimators are asymptotically equivalent, differing only by terms of order O(1/n). A simulation study validates the theoretical results and demonstrates the superior finite-sample performance of the bias-corrected estimators. The results justify the use of the simpler uncorrected plug-in estimators in asymptotic settings, such as those considered in the companion paper on almost sure convergence and asymptotic normality.
