Quantifying Synergistic Information Using Intermediate Stochastic Variables †

Quantifying Synergistic Information Using Intermediate Stochastic Variables †

Quantifying synergy among stochastic variables is an important open problem in information theory. Information synergy occurs when multiple sources together predict an outcome variable better than the sum of single-source predictions. It is an essential phenomenon in biology such as in neuronal netw...
