Open Study Questions

• What are Open Study Questions/Answers?
  They are an experimental hybrid of blog posts and citable research notes. My hope is they might facilitate answering questions raised in my studies.
• For a multivariate distribution, is the sum of sample variances a better estimator than the sum of population variances?
  (with proposed answer Sample vs population variance with multivariate distributions)
• For a Bernoulli distribution, is sample variance a better estimator than simply the definition of variance?
  (with proposed answer Sample vs population variance with Bernoulli distributions)
• What is the relationship between the variance and entropy of independent one-hot vectors?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/137/)
• What is a formal definition of F_ST?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/136/)
• What is fraction of predictive information?
• What is a copredictor?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/135/)
• What is the distribution decomposition function for scoped entropy?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/134/)
• What is the product of scopes of relevance?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/133/)
• Is scoped entropy an extension of Shannon entropy to continuous variables?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/132/)
• What benefit does scoped entropy have that variance does not?
  (with proposed answer https://castedo.com/osa/130/)
• What is an entropy scope of relevance?
  (with proposed answer Entropy Scope of Relevance)
• What is scoped entropy?
  (with proposed answer Scoped Entropy)
• What is an extension of Shannon entropy to continuous variables?
  (with proposed answer Extending Shannon entropy to continuous variables)
