Mutual information is copula entropy
In information theory, mutual information (MI) is a difference concept with entropy.[1] In this paper, we prove with copula [2] that they are essentially same – mutual information is also a kind of entropy, called copula entropy. Based on this insightful result, We propose a simple method for estimating mutual information. Copula is a theory on dependence and measurement of association.[2] Skla...
متن کاملMutual information challenges entropy bounds
We consider some formulations of the entropy bounds at the semiclassical level. The entropy S(V ) localized in a region V is divergent in quantum field theory (QFT). Instead of it we focus on the mutual information I(V,W ) = S(V ) + S(W ) − S(V ∪W ) between two different non-intersecting sets V and W . This is a low energy quantity, independent of the regularization scheme. In addition, the mut...
متن کاملInformation Theory 4.1 Entropy and Mutual Information
Neural encoding and decoding focus on the question: " What does the response of a neuron tell us about a stimulus ". In this chapter we consider a related but different question: " How much does the neural response tell us about a stimulus ". The techniques of information theory allow us to answer this question in a quantitative manner. Furthermore, we can use them to ask what forms of neural r...
متن کاملStatistical Dependence: Copula Functions and Mutual Information Based Measures
Accurately and adequately modelling and analyzing relationships in real random phenomena involving several variables are prominent areas in statistical data analysis. Applications of such models are crucial and lead to severe economic and financial implications in human society. Since the beginning of developments in Statistical methodology as the formal scientific discipline, correlation based...
متن کاملEstimation of Entropy and Mutual Information
We present some new results on the nonparametric estimation of entropy and mutual information. First, we use an exact local expansion of the entropy function to prove almost sure consistency and central limit theorems for three of the most commonly used discretized information estimators. The setup is related to Grenander’s method of sieves and places no assumptions on the underlying probabilit...
