Information Decomposition

Open doomgutt opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

This module looks to be very well researched and implemented.

I was wondering if the authors are aware of and perhaps interested in implementing measures of Multivariate Information proposed in

  • Williams, Beer (2010) - Nonnegative Decomposition of Multivariate Information [https://arxiv.org/abs/1004.2515]
  • Lizier, Bertschinger, Jost, Wibral (2018) - Information Decomposition of Target Effects from Multi-Source Interactions [https://www.mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/735]

The measures still seem to be under development, but also appear to be quite useful for more precise decomposition of information.

I'm going to implement it myself in some fashion either way for my own projects, so perhaps I'll attempt forking the repository, but I think I'm not as qualified as the authors of the repository to do so.
