Information theory and inverse probability in telecommunication

摘要: The foundations of information theory are presented as an extension the inverse probability. By postulating that is additive and taking suitable averages, all essential definitions Shannon's for discrete continuous communication channels, with without noise, obtained. based on idea receiving a communication, or making observation, merely changes relative probabilities various possible messages. whole process reception can therefore be regarded means evaluating posteriori probabilities, this leads to optimum receiver in any telecommunication problem always specified, principle, by simplest instance correlation detecting very weak signals presence its briefly discussed paper concludes answer criticisms use
