+# Finite probability weights for message bounds
A normalized weight on messages certifies an upper bound on their average coding cost. Conditional weights may depend on earlier coordinates, without requiring independence. The logarithmic counting argument is the finite communication method of Roychowdhury--Orlitsky--Siu, with explicit probability weights.
A normalized message weight with a bound on its average natural-log cost.
- weight : Y → ℝ
Probability weight assigned to each possible message.
Instances For
A conditional probability weight, normalized at every possible parent value.
- weight : Z → Y → ℝ
Probability weight on new messages, indexed by the earlier observation.
Instances For
A weight certificate and a bound on every fibre bound the number of inputs.
Increasing the certified cost preserves a weight certificate.
Equations
Instances For
Reuse a weight when changing the message only increases its pointwise weight.
