Abstract

This study is divided into two seemingly disjoint parts -- one containing EMPIRICAL (Bayesian and Non-Bayesian) approach and the second containing INFORMATION-THEORETICAL techniques in problems of statistical estimation and tests of hypotheses. But in the end, both approaches have been brought together for solving ENCODING problems of COMMUNICATION THEORY to unify the whole dissertation.
