Reviews for Information Theoretic Learning: Renyi's Entropy and Kernel Perspectives
From the book reviews: “The book is remarkable in various ways in the information it presents on the concept and use of entropy functions and their applications in signal processing and solution of statistical problems such as M-estimation, classification, and clustering. Students of engineering and statistics will greatly benefit by reading it.” (C. R. Rao, Technometrics, Vol. 55 (1), ... Read more
