Theory of ϕ-Jensen variance and its applications in higher education

Abstract: This paper introduces the theory of φ-Jensen variance. Our main motivation is to extend the connotation of the analysis of variance and facilitate its applications in probability, statistics and higher education. To this end, we first introduce the relevant concepts and properties of the interval function. Next, we study several characteristics of the log-concave function and prove an interesting quasi-log concavity conjecture. Next, we introduce the theory of φ-Jensen variance and study the monotonicity of th… Show more

“…In [16], the authors generalized the traditional covariance and the variance of random variables, and defined φ-covariance, φ-variance, φ-Jensen variance, φ-Jensen covariance, integral variance, and γ-order variance, as well as they studied the relationships among these variances. Moreover, they dealt with a quasi-log concavity conjecture and the monotonicity of the interval function JVar φ ϕ X [a,b] .…”
