Abstract: [eng] [cze]
The aim of the paper consists in demonstrating the relevance of the fundamental information-theoretic concepts, namely the entropy and the I-divergence, for both the statistical inference and the limit theorems of probability theory. Cílem je ukázat význam základních pojmů teorie informace,tj. entropie a I-divergence, jak pro statistické úlohy tak i pro limitní věty teorie pravděpodobnosti.
Keywords: conditional limit theorem; entropy; I-projection
