Descriptions du produit

Product Description

Following a brief introduction and overview, early chapters cover the basic algebraic relationships of entropy, relative entropy and mutual information, AEP, entropy rates of stochastics processes and data compression, duality of data compression and the growth rate of wealth. Later chapters explore Kolmogorov complexity, channel capacity, differential entropy, the capacity of the fundamental Gaussian channel, the relationship between information theory and statistics, rate distortion and network information theories. The final two chapters examine the stock market and inequalities in information theory. In many cases the authors actually describe the properties of the solutions before the presented problems.


Book Info

3.0étoiles sur 5 Not a good primer for the subject, Mars 1 2002
Par Hank Tseu (Bethesda, MD United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This book is very thorough in its content, and the information is laid out very nicely, and easy to find. However, from a non-information theorist perspective it is not a good introduction. It covers the theory very well, but is light on the practical application (which is what drew me to the subject). This book requires a solid foundation in probability.

5.0étoiles sur 5 the best IT book in the market, Janv. 7 2002
Par ALAC (New York, NY USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
If you want a single book on information theory, you must have this one. Tom Cover, as one of the major contributors to the development of information theory over the years, wrote a clear and understandable book on a somewhat involved topic. The notation is neat and clean, something difficult to find in IT books. Also, the practice exercices at the end of each chapter are all of them worth doing. In each one you discover something in the theory you did not paid due attention. The spirit of IT important quantities such as the entropy and mutual information is well explained through examples and Venn diagrams. Also, despite the fact that this is a technical book, reading it can be quite enjoyable.

5.0étoiles sur 5 THE GATEWAY to the exciting field!, Juil 21 2001
Par Un client
This book is a research-level books that guides you to the world of information theory. Many arguements in the book are closely related to those in the latest information theory papers. For instance, the line of thought of the proof of channel capacity theorem (achievability->error analysis->converse) are still used in many network information theory papers. Hence, not only can readers refer to other papers when learning the subject(esp network information theory), but also get a solid foundation if he wants to continue with information theory. Another point is the intuition employed throughout the book. Dr.Cover visualizes many abstract notions (e.g. typical set)in information theory with clear diagrams. The subject suddenly becomes more approachable, and more importantly, these techniques are very important in subsequent study of the subject. Finally, the broad coverage of the book (of coz, it has depth) provides reader with a sip of the creativity and eclectic nature of information theory. In sum, after reading the book, readers will have some idea of this exciting field! But of coz, this is only the beginning!
