Abstract: Inferring the causal structure of a set of random variables from a finite sample of the joint distribution is an important problem in science. The case of two random variables is ...

Abstract: It is well known that the entropy H(X) of a discrete random variable X is always greater than or equal to the entropy H(f(X)) of a function f of X, with equality if and only if f is ...
