In information theory, varentropy has recently been proposed to describe and measure the degree of information dispersion around entropy. Theoretical investigation on varentropy of past life has been initiated, however details on its stochastic properties are yet to be discovered. In this paper, we propose a novel stochastic order and introduce new classes of life distributions based on past varentropy. Further, we illustrate some of its applications in reliability modeling and in the diversity measure of Boltzmann distribution.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55505,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Mathematics","volume":"69 3","pages":"373 - 394"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140129491","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A ridge estimator of the covariance matrix has a uniform expression and keeps positive-definite, whether the data size is larger or smaller than the data dimension. Furthermore, the ridge parameter is tuned through a cross-validation procedure. Lastly, the proposed ridge estimator is verified with better performance than the existing estimator from the data in two classes and the traditional ridge estimator only from the good data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55505,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Mathematics","volume":"69 2","pages":"169 - 184"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140129497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
