An Introduction to Transfer Entropy: Information Flow in Complex Systems

by Lionel Barnett, Terry Bossomaier, Joseph T. Lizier, et al.

Book Overview

This book considers a relatively new metric in complex systems, transfer entropy, derived from a series of measurements, usually a time series. After a qualitative introduction and a chapter that explains the key ideas from statistics required to understand the text, the authors then present information theory and transfer entropy in depth.
