Series Explanation: Information theory for biologists.

- What is information? How is it measured? How does it explain the evolution of life?

Abstract

Part 4. Rate of information transmission through a noisy channel and other related concepts are formulated as an extension of Shannonian information theory introduced in Part 3. Ergodicity of stochastic process and Gaussian probability distribution are also explained. Auto- and Cross-correlation functions and convolution integral are introduced with their Fourier transforms for elimination of effect of noise in system identification.
