I worked through it again and discovered an error or two in my calculations. In the end it looks like
H(A|B,C) = H(A,B,C) - H(B,C)
is correct after all.
This is quite clear when illustrated with a Venn diagram similar to the one...
Hello,
I want to compute the conditional entropy H(A | B,C), given probability distributions for each of the variables.
It would be nice to have a right-hand side not involving conditionals. H(A|B) = H(A,B) - H(B) but how does it work out if there are more than one conditional variable...
Thanks for the answers.
quasar987, that makes sense! I lacked that intuition.
symbolipoint, I played around with your suggestion, and for one thing realized that while an interest rate r gives exponential growth of your cash thanks to dx/dt = (1+r)x (or rather a discrete-time version of...
Hello Physics Forums,
I sometimes come across statements like this (from http://beige.ucs.indiana.edu/B673/node62.html" ):
[FONT="Courier New"]Now assume a solution of the following form: x(t) = Aeat
What is the motivation/background to make such an assumption? In this case the equation...
