On the Estimation of Mutual Information
In this paper we focus on the estimation of mutual information from finite samples ( X × Y ) . The main concern with estimations of mutual information (MI) is their robustness under the class of transformations for which it remains invariant:

Mutual Information and Information Gating in Synfire Chains
Coherent neuronal activity is believed to underlie the transfer and processing of information in the brain. Coherent activity in the form of synchronous firing and oscillations has been measured in many brain regions and has been correlated with enhanced

Mutual information for testing gene-environment interaction. [PDF]
Despite current enthusiasm for investigation of gene-gene interactions and gene-environment interactions, the essential issue of how to define and detect gene-environment interactions remains unresolved.

Quantifying Synergistic Mutual Information [PDF]
Quantifying cooperation or synergy among random variables in predicting a single target random variable is an important problem in many complex systems. We review three prior information-theoretic measures of synergy and introduce a novel synergy measure defined as the difference between the whole and the union of its parts.

Structure Learning of Bayesian Network Based on Adaptive Thresholding
Direct dependencies and conditional dependencies in restricted Bayesian network classifiers (BNCs) are two basic kinds of dependencies. Traditional approaches, such as filter and wrapper, have proved to be beneficial to identify non-significant ...

Quantum Mutual Information, Fragile Systems and Emergence
In this paper, we present an analytical description of emergence from the density matrix framework as a state of knowledge of the system, and its generalized probability formulation.

Mutual information rate and bounds for it. [PDF]
The amount of information exchanged per unit of time between two nodes in a dynamical network or between two data sets is a powerful concept for analysing complex systems.

Modeling Categorical Variables by Mutual Information Decomposition
This paper proposed the use of mutual information (MI) decomposition as a novel approach to identifying indispensable variables and their interactions for contingency table analysis.

ABSTRACT Purpose Patient activation—encompassing knowledge, confidence, and skills in managing individual's health—is a cornerstone of person‐centered care. However, its significance among childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (CAYACS) remains unexplored. This article examines the application of the 13‐item Patient Activation Measure (

Tsallis Mutual Information for Document Classification
Mutual information is one of the mostly used measures for evaluating image similarity. In this paper, we investigate the application of three different Tsallis-based generalizations of mutual information to analyze the similarity between scanned ...
