More concepts to explore

  • Mutual information

    Mutual information measures statistical dependence as the reduction in uncertainty from observing another variable.

  • Shannon entropy

    Entropy is expected negative log probability for a discrete distribution.

  • Channel capacity

    Capacity bounds achievable reliable information rates for a specified channel model.

  • Error correction bounds

    Minimum distance d permits correcting up to floor((d-1)/2) arbitrary symbol errors.

  • Hamming distance

    Hamming distance counts differing positions between equal-length strings.
