The Weighted Fisher Information Relative to a Diagonal Gaussian Measure on Euclidean Space

For a measure on Euclidean space with finite Fisher information relative to a diagonal Gaussian and positive weights, defines the weighted Fisher information as the integral of the weighted sum of squares of the components of the relative score.

Statement

In the settings of The Real Numbers: Standing Notation and Background and The Intrinsic Calculus on the Wasserstein Space: Standing Notation, let cc be a variance vector and γc\gamma_{c} the diagonal Gaussian measure with variances cc, and let a=(a1,…,ad)∈Rda=(a_{1},\dots,a_{d})\in\mathbb{R}^{d} with ai>0a_{i}>0 for every i∈[d]i\in[d]. Finite Fisher information relative to γc\gamma_{c} and the relative score ζνc\zeta^{c}_{\nu}, an element of the space L2(ν;Rd)L^{2}(\nu;\mathbb{R}^{d}) of Square-Integrable Vector Fields Against a Probability Measure on Euclidean Space, and Test Functions: Standing Notation §l2mu, are those of that definition.

(Weighted relative Fisher information) Let ν∈P2(Rd)\nu\in\mathcal{P}_{2}(\mathbb{R}^{d}) have finite Fisher information relative to γc\gamma_{c}, and let ζ=(ζ1,…,ζd):Rd→Rd\zeta=(\zeta_{1},\dots,\zeta_{d}):\mathbb{R}^{d}\to\mathbb{R}^{d} be a representative of ζνc\zeta^{c}_{\nu}, a Borel map with ∫Rd∥ζ∥2 dν<∞\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}\lVert\zeta\rVert^{2}\,d\nu<\infty by Square-Integrable Vector Fields Against a Probability Measure on Euclidean Space, and Test Functions: Standing Notation §l2mu. The Fisher information of ν\nu relative to γc\gamma_{c} with weights aa is

Ia(ν ∣ γc)=∫Rd∑i=1dai ζi(y)2 ν(dy).\mathcal{I}_{a}(\nu\,|\,\gamma_{c})=\int_{\mathbb{R}^{d}}\sum_{i=1}^{d}a_{i}\,\zeta_{i}(y)^{2}\,\nu(dy).

The integrand is Borel, its components ζi\zeta_{i} being Borel by claims 2 and 5 of The Borel Sigma-Algebra of a Euclidean Space as a Product, and Measurability of Projections, Sequentially Continuous Maps, and Open and Closed Sets and its sums and products being Borel by Arithmetic, Absolute Values, and Pointwise Limits of Measurable Real-Valued Functions; it is nonnegative and at most aˉ∥ζ(y)∥2=aˉ∑i=1dζi(y)2\bar{a}\lVert\zeta(y)\rVert^{2}=\bar{a}\sum_{i=1}^{d}\zeta_{i}(y)^{2} at every yy, where aˉ\bar{a} is the largest of a1,…,ada_{1},\dots,a_{d}, which exists by Greatest Element of a Finite Family in a Totally Ordered Set, so Ia(ν ∣ γc)\mathcal{I}_{a}(\nu\,|\,\gamma_{c}) is a nonnegative real number by Linearity and Monotonicity of the Lebesgue Integral §nonnegative; and it does not depend on the representative ζ\zeta by The Lebesgue Integral and Null Sets: Almost-Everywhere Comparison, Markov's Inequality, and Dominated Convergence Almost Everywhere §comparison.
