The minimum information principle and its application to neural code analysis
... Here, we present a new framework for extending information theoretic analysis to handle partial measurements of complex systems. At the basis of our approach is the assumption that the partial measurements hold for the true underlying system, whose complete characterization cannot be accessed. We ne ...
