Causality , Feedback and Directed Information
It is shown that the "usual definition" of a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) in fact prohibits the use of feedback. The difficulty stems from the confusion of causality and statistical dependence. An adequate definition of a DMC is given, as well as a definition of using a channel without feedback. A definition, closely based on an old idea of Marko, is given for the directed information flow...
متن کاملA Survey of Causality and Directed Information
Causality has been an important concept in philosophy at least since the days of Aristotle and his "four causes" theory. Just for how long causality has been studied mathematically is uncertain due to the often blurred lines between mathematics and philosophy, but even today assigning causality (let alone culpability) to a pair of events requires some degree of human intuition.

15 صفحه اولThe Relation between Granger Causality and Directed Information Theory: A Review
This report reviews the conceptual and theoretical links between Granger causality and directed information theory. We begin with a short historical tour of Granger causality, concentrating on its closeness to information theory. The definitions of Granger causality based on prediction are recalled, and the importance of the observation set is discussed. We present the definitions based on cond...
متن کاملthe effects of cooperative versus individual directed reading thinking activities on students inferential and referential questions
two groups of students were assigned as experimental and control ones, and were given instruction on directed reading-thinking activities and after some treatment, they were post-tested. although the initial pre-test did not show any significant differences, the final post-test result revealed that the cooperative reading comprehension helped the experimental group. the cooperative students’...
