An exploration of the role of principal inertia components in information theory

The principal inertia components of the joint distribution of two random variables X and Y are inherently connected to how an observation of Y is statistically related to a hidden variable X. In this paper, we explore this connection within an information theoretic framework. We show that, under cer...
