Jensen's Inequality

🌱

Theorem
InfoTheoryProbabilityStochasticDiffs

Let KRK\subset\mathbb{R} (interval) and let f:KRnf:K\to\mathbb{R}^n be convex function. Also let XX be a random vector with alphabet XnK\mathcal{X}^n\subset K and finite component means, then E[f(X)]f(E[X])E[f(X)]\ge f(E[X]) Also, if ff is strictly convex then the inequality is strict unless XX is deterministic.
