Sobre IBD

Originally developed by Claude Shannon in the 1940s, information theory laid the foundations for the digital revolution, and is now an essential tool in telecommunications, genetics, linguistics, brain sciences, and deep space communication. In this richly illustrated book, accessible examples are used to introduce information theory in terms of everyday games like ’20 questions’ before more advanced topics are explored. Online MatLab and Python computer programs provide hands-on experience of information theory in action, and PowerPoint slides give support for teaching. Written in an informal style, with a comprehensive glossary and tutorial appendices, this text is an ideal primer for novices who wish to learn the essential principles and applications of information theory.

  • Bayes’ Rule
    James V Stone
    What does a medical test tell us about the chances of having a particular disease? How can we tell if a spoken phrase is, ’four candles’ or ’fork handles’? How do we a perceive a three-dimensional world from from the two-dimensional images on our retinas? The short answer is Bayes’ rule, which transforms meaningless statistics and raw data into useful information. Discovered by...
