Concentration of the information in data with log-concave distributions

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

A concentration property of the functional −log⁡f(X){-}\log f(X) is demonstrated, when a random vector X has a log-concave density f on Rn\mathbb{R}^n. This concentration property implies in particular an extension of the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman strong ergodic theorem to the class of discrete-time stochastic processes with log-concave marginals.
