Concepts of entropy and MI defined by Shannon's theory of information.
| Concepts of Shannon's theory of information | Descriptions |
| | The uncertainty of a random variable X is measured by its entropy ; is the probability density of | | The uncertainty of a random variably given knowledge of another random variable is measured by the conditional entropy | | The uncertainty of a pair of random variables , is measured by the entropy | | | Given two random variables and , the amount of information that each one of them provides about the other is the mutual information | |
