Advances in Info-Metrics : Information and Information Processing Across Disciplines

Advances in Info-Metrics expands the study of info-metrics - a framework for modeling, reasoning, and drawing inferences under conditions of insufficient information - across disciplines. This volume explores the mathematical and philosophical foundations of information-theoretic inference and demonstrates how to solve problems using new cross-disciplinary case studies and examples.
