DEF

difference between the information content l(x) conveyed by the occurrence of an event x, and the conditional information content l(x,y) conveyed by the occurrence of the same event, given the occurrence of another event y; in mathematical notation, this measure is T(x,y) = l(x) - l(x,y)

OBS

The two events x and y are particularly a message at the message source of a channel and a message at the message sink of the channel.

OBS

The transinformation content can also be expressed as T(x,y) = l(x) + l(y) - l(x|y) where l(y) is the information content of the event y. From this follows that it is symmetric in x and y: T(x,y) = T(y,x)

OBS

transinformation content; transferred information; transmitted information; mutual information: terms and definition standardized by ISO/IEC [ISO/IEC 2382-16:1996].

DEF

excès de la quantité d'information l(x) apportée par la réalisation d'un événement x sur la quantité d'information conditionnelle l(x,y) liée à cette réalisation lorsque l'on connaît la réalisation d'un autre événement y; mathématiquement, cette mesure s'exprime par T(x,y) = l(x) - l(x,y)

OBS

Les deux événements x et y sont en particulier un message émis par la source de messages d'une voie et un message reçu par le collecteur de messages de la voie.

OBS

La transinformation peut aussi être exprimée par T(x,y) = l(x) + l(y) - l(x|y) où l(y) est la quantité d'information de l'événement y. Il en résulte qu'elle est symétrique en x et y : T(x,y) = T(y,x)

OBS

transinformation; information mutuelle; quantité d'information mutuelle : termes et définition normalisés par l'ISO/CEI [ISO/IEC 2382-16:1996].
