Probabilistic Sufficiency and Algorithmic Sufficiency from the point of view of Information Theory
Given the importance of Markov chains in information theory, the definition of conditional probability for these random processes can also be defined in terms of mutual information. In this paper, the relationship between the concept of sufficiency and Markov chains from the perspective of information theory and the relationship between probabilistic sufficiency and algorithmic sufficien...
متن کاملAn information integration approach to phenomenal causality.
Phenomenal causality was studied by using Michotte's launch event, in which successive motion of two objects evokes an immediate perception that the first motion causes the second. Information integration theory was used to address the complementary issues of invariant perceptual structure and individual differences in phenomenal causality. Three informational cues were varied conjointly: tempo...
متن کاملFrom Correlation to Granger Causality
The paper focuses on establishing causation in regression analysis in observational settings. Simple static regression analysis cannot establish causality in the absence of a priori theory on possible causal mechanisms or controlled and randomized experiments. However, two regression based econometric techniques – instrumental variables and Granger causality can be used to test for causality gi...
متن کاملCausality , Feedback and Directed Information
It is shown that the "usual definition" of a discrete memoryless channel (DMC) in fact prohibits the use of feedback. The difficulty stems from the confusion of causality and statistical dependence. An adequate definition of a DMC is given, as well as a definition of using a channel without feedback. A definition, closely based on an old idea of Marko, is given for the directed information flow...
متن کاملCausality, Programmability and Information Biology
Biology has taken strong steps towards becoming a computer science aiming at reprogramming nature after the realisation that nature herself has reprogrammed organisms by harnessing the power of natural selection and the digital prescriptive nature of replicating DNA. Here we further unpack ideas related to computability, algorithmic information theory and software engineering, in the context of...
