In information theory, Fano's inequality (also known as the Fano converse and the Fano lemma) relates the average information lost in a noisy channel to the probability of the categorization error. It was derived by Robert Fano in the early 1950s while teaching a Ph.D. seminar in information theory at MIT, and later recorded in his 1961 textbook. It is used to find a lower bound on the error probability of any decoder as well as the lower bounds for minimax risks in density estimation. Let the random variables ''X'' and ''Y'' represent input and output messages with a joint probability . Let ''e'' represent an occurrence of error; i.e., that , being a noise approximate version of . Fano's inequality is : where denotes the support of ''X'', : is the conditional entropy, : is the probability of the communication error, and : is the corresponding binary entropy. ==Alternative formulation== Let ''X'' be a random variable with density equal to one of possible densities . Furthermore, the Kullback–Leibler divergence between any pair of densities cannot be too large, : for all Let be an estimate of the index. Then : where is the probability induced by 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fano's inequality」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
