A Kernel-Based Calculation of Information on a Metric Space

Kernel density estimation is a technique for approximating probability distributions. Here, it is applied to the calculation of mutual information on a metric space. This is motivated by the problem in neuroscience of calculating the mutual information between stimuli and spiking responses; the spac...
