Statistical inequalities refer to mathematical expressions that describe the relationships between different statistical quantities, often indicating how one quantity compares to another under certain conditions or assumptions. These inequalities can be used in various fields, including statistics, probability theory, economics, and information theory.
The Bhatia-Davis inequality is a result in matrix analysis that provides a bound on the norms of certain operators. Specifically, it deals with the operator norm of a product of matrices and has important applications in areas such as quantum information theory and linear algebra.
The Binomial sum variance inequality is a result in probability theory that deals with the variance of the sum of independent random variables. While there are various forms of inequalities related to sums of random variables, one common form associated with the binomial distribution is the variance of a binomially distributed random variable. For a random variable \(X\) that is binomially distributed, i.e.
The Chapman–Robbins bound is a result in statistical theory that provides a method for creating confidence intervals for the mean of a distribution based on a sample. Specifically, it is often applied in the context of estimating the mean of a bounded distribution, particularly when we have limited information about the distribution's shape. The bound addresses the problem of how many observations are needed to ensure that the estimated mean lies within a specified error margin with a certain probability.
Popoviciu's inequality is a result in statistics concerning the variances of random variables. Specifically, it provides a bound on the variance of a random variable in relation to its range.
