Abstract

The differential entropy of a random variable (or vector) can be expressed as the integral over signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the minimum mean-square error (MMSE) of estimating the variable (or vector) when observed in additive Gaussian noise. This representation sidesteps Fisher's information to provide simple and insightful proofs for Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI) and two of its variations: Costa's strengthened EPI in the case in which one of the variables is Gaussian, and a generalized EPI for linear transformations of a random vector due to Zamir and Feder.
