Conditional Mutual Information

A measure of how much information two variables share about each other, considering a specific condition.

Entropy (H(S))

The amount of uncertainty or randomness in a variable. Higher entropy means more unpredictable outcomes.

log₂ K

The base-2 logarithm of a value K, often related to the context of the analysis.

C. D(p || q)

Represents the conditional mutual information between variables p and q, given the condition S.

Study Notes

Conditional Differential Entropy

Conditional differential entropy is denoted as C. D(p||q)
It's calculated as H(S) - log₂K
H(S) represents the entropy of S
log₂K represents the logarithm base 2 of K.
