Sharp Bounds on the Entropy of the Poisson Law and Related Quantities
One of the difficulties in calculating the capacity of certain Poisson channels is that H(), the entropy of the Poisson distribution with mean , is not available in a simple form. ...

Mutual Information, Relative Entropy, and Estimation in the Poisson Channel
Let X be a non-negative random variable and let the conditional distribution of a random variable Y , given X, be Poisson(γ · X), for a parameter γ ≥ 0. We identify a natural...

Evolution of biological sequences implies an extreme value distribution of type I for both global and local pairwise alignment s
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...
