Nearest Neighbor Estimates of Entropy for Multivariate Circular Distributions

Nearest Neighbor Estimates of Entropy for Multivariate Circular Distributions

In molecular sciences, the estimation of entropies of molecules is important for the understanding of many chemical and biological processes. Motivated by these applications, we consider the problem of estimating the entropies of circular random vectors and introduce non-parametric estimators based...
