Thanks for the reply, Stephen. I did suspect that the die number and the position on the table were unrelated, but wasn't 100% sure. So, in a perfect world/after an infinite number of trials, the mutual information would have actually approached 0 bits, correct? I am actually working with...

Hi ed_uk! I'm assuming you've had exposure to a) trigonometry b) calculus Intuitively speaking, it seems that the velocity is inextricably linked to the angle. If you think about throwing a ball at a target at a fixed angle, there is only one speed that will get the ball there. However, if...

Hi all, I had a question about calculating mutual information, a topic to which I am very new. Consider the following hypothetical situation, in which I describe the entire process from what I understand: Suppose I had a normal die (sides numbered 1-6) that you roll on a leaning table. I...
