Algorithmic probability

AP

Algorithmic probability quantifies the likelihood of a string appearing based on its shortest description.

Entropy

Entropy is a measure of uncertainty or disorder in a system, often used in thermodynamics and information theory.

Flux

Flux refers to the flow or transfer of energy, matter, or information in physics and other fields.

Hamming Distance

HD

Hamming Distance measures the difference between two strings of equal length.

Information Gain

IG

Information Gain measures the reduction in uncertainty about a random variable given additional information.

Information Theory

IT

Information Theory studies the quantification, storage, and communication of information.

Jensen-Shannon Divergence

JSD

Jensen-Shannon Divergence measures the similarity between two probability distributions.

Joint Entropy

Joint entropy measures the uncertainty of two random variables together.

JSDivergence

JSD

JSDivergence measures the similarity between two probability distributions using a symmetric approach.

K-L Divergence

KLD

K-L Divergence measures how one probability distribution differs from a second, reference distribution.

Maximum Entropy

MaxEnt

Maximum Entropy is a statistical principle used to make predictions based on limited information.

Mutual Information

MI

Mutual Information measures the amount of information shared between two variables.
