Asymptotics: the BHH Theorem and entropy 2.2. estimation Theorem [Redmond&Yukich:96] Let L be a quasi-additive Euclidean functional with power-exponent fl, and let X n = fx ;:::;x n g be an i.i.d. sample drawn from a distribution on [; ] d with an absolutely continuous component having (Lebesgue) density f (x).

21 4. Extended BHH Thm for k-minimal Graphs Fix ff 2 [; ] and assume that the k-minimal graph is tightly coverable. If k = bffnc,as n! we have (Hero&Michel:IT99) f ν (xjx 2 A)dx (a:s:) L(X Λ n;k )=(bffnc)ν! L;fl min (A) ff A:P Z or, alternatively, with ν (fjx 2 A) = H ν ln Z f ν (xjx 2 A)dx L(X Λ n;k )=(bffnc)ν!

LetG be an algorithm which constructs a graph with with k = bffnc vertices U n;k ρ U n, an i.i.d. uniform sample over [; ] d. Dene covers U n;k. The algorithm G is said to generate tightly coverable subgraphs if for any ffl > there exists an M such that for all m > M D m k = fc2ff(q m ):U n;k 2Cg C the minimum volume set in ff(a m ) which sup lim n!» ffl; (a:s:) 22

23 5. Greedy Partition Algorithm Greedy approximation to k-minimal graph (Ravi&etal:94) ) specify a uniform partition Q m of [; ] d having m d cells Q i of resolution =m; ) nd the smallest subset B m k = [ iq i of partition elements containing at least k points 2) out of X n B m k select k points X n;k which minimize L(X n;k ). Properties: Greedy algorithm is polynomial time unlike exponential time exact ffl k-minimal algorithm. ffl Greedy algorithm yields tightly coverable graphs by construction 23

A sample of 75 points from the mixture density f(x) = :25f (x)+:75fo(x) where fo is a uniform density over [; ] 2 and f is a bivariate Gaussian density with mean (=2; =2) and diagonal covariance diag(:). A smallest B subset k is the union of the two cross hatched cells shown for the case of m = 5 and k = 7. m 24

26 Minimal =m-cover of Probability at least ff If for any C 2 ff(q m ) satisfying P (C) ff the set A 2 ff(q m ) satises P (C) P (A) ff; then A is called a minimal resolution-=m set of probability at least ff. The class of all such sets is denoted A m ff. ) all sets in A m ff have identical coverage probabilities pa m ff ff. 26

27 L(X G m Theorem 2 Let X n be an i.i.d. sample from a distribution having Lebesgue density f (x). Fixff 2 [; ], fl 2 (;d). Letf (d fl)=d be of bounded variation over [; ] d and denote by v(a) its total variation over a subset A ρ [; ] d.letl be a quasi-additive functional with power exponent fl as in Theorem. Then, Z sup lim n! n;bffnc )=nν L;fl min (A) ff A:P ν (xja)dx < f; (a:s:); f where md 2m X d L;fl = f v(q m ff ) + C 3(pA m ff ff)(d fl)=d i= = O(m fl d ); and pa m ff is the coverage probability of minimizing set A = Am ff. 27

28 Main idea behind proof: for large n can index over X n;k ρ X n by indexing over A ρ Borel in [; ] d. min L(X E[ n;bffnc )] ß n;bffnc X inf (A) ff E[L(X n A)]; A:P 28

29 Proof of Theorem uses following lemmas: Lemma For given ff 2 [; ] and a set of n i.i.d. points n [x ;:::;x n ] let T B m n be the minimal cover of bffnc points with X = produced by the greedy subset selection algorithm. Then resolution-=m P inf lim fx n : B m n 2 A m ff g = : n! 29

30 d md Lemma 2 For ν 2 [; ] let f ν be of bounded variation over [; ] d and denote by v(a) its total variation over any subset A 2 [; ] d. Dene the resolution =m block density approximation ~ f (x) = P m d where i = m d R Q i f (x)dx. Then for any A 2 ff(q m ) i= ii Qi (x)» Z A [ ~ f ν (x) f ν (x)]dx» m X v(q i A): i= 3

31 Lemma 3 Assume f is of bounded total variation v(q i ) in each partition cell Q i 2 Q m.leta be any set in the class A m ff. Then for any quasi-additive functional L n (B m bffnc ) def = L(X n B m bffnc ) sup lim n! L n(b m bffnc )=n(d fl)=d L;fl ZA f (d fl)=d (x)dx v(q m ff ); (a:s): md d X L;fl 2m < i= 3

32 =n (d fl)=d Lemma X 4 Let n;bffnc bffnc be any points B selected from. Then, bffnc for any quasi-additive m functional def (B m bffnc ) n L = L n (X n B m bffnc ) sup lim n! L n (B m bffnc ) L(X n;bffnc) < C 3 (pa m ff ff)(d fl)=d ; (a:s:) where pa m ff = P (Am ff ) is the coverage probability of sets Am ff in A m ff. 32

33 ffl + C 3 )v : (2 Interpretations of Theorem 2: ffl Bound f is tight: lim ff! f = and theorem reduces to BHH. Since x2q(q) f (d fl)=d (x)» v([; ] d ) and ffl sup d P m m ff ), )» v([; ]d v(q i= f can be upper bounded by f» 2 L;fl m d + C 3 m fl dλ v([; ] d ): Thus if an upper bound v on the total variation of f is available and the tolerance ffl is given G m n;bffnc )=(bffnc)ν L;fl expf ( ν)r ν )j < ffl jl(x we obtain a selection rule for required partition =m resolution =m» ffl f decreases to zero as a function of resolution =m at overall rate 33

34 O(m fl d ). Thus convergence rate in =m is fastest for small fl. ffl Conjecture: as MST (U n )] LMST ;fln (d fl)=d j = O max(;n (d fl )=d ) je[l [Redmond&Yukich:96], rate of convergence in the limsup of Theorem 2 is at O(=n best ) and this rate can be attained only when =d» d. fl k-minimal graph entropy estimator will have fastest convergence ffl when the Rényi order ν parameter is in the =d» ν < range. Theorem extends easily to I-divergence limit by measure ffl transformation. 34
