In this case, information is thought of as a reduction in the uncertainty of a variable. Thus, the more mutual information between X and Y, the less uncertainty there is in X knowing Y or Y knowing X. For our purposes, within any given process, several parameters must be selected in order to properly run the process. The relationship between variables is integral to correctly determine working values for the system. For example, adjusting the temperature in a reactor often causes the pressure to change as well. Mutual information is most commonly measured in logarithms of base 2 (bits) but is also found in base e (nats) and base 10 (bans). data: [ (0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2), (3, 4, 5, 5, 3, 2, 2, 6, 6, 1), (7, 2, 1, 3, 2, 8, 9, 1, 2, 0), (7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7, 7), (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 1) ] ./it_tool.py Entropy(X_1): 0.759176 Elapsed time: 0.000941 Entropy(X_3): 0.000000 Elapsed time: 0.000046 Entropy(X_4): 0.856864 Elapsed time: 0.000247 Entropy(X_0, X_1): 0.759176 Elapsed time: 0.000639 Entropy(X_3, X_3): 0.000000 Elapsed time: 0.000082 MI(X_0, X_1): 0.472903 Elapsed time: 0.001174 MI(X_1, X_2): 0.555834 Elapsed time: 0.002696
RYFan-RS/Mutual-Information
In probability theory and information theory, the mutual information of two random variables is a quantity that measures the mutual dependence of the two random variables. This script performs MI over Mutual Information over discrete random variables
