In probability theory and information theory, the mutual information (MI) of two random variables is a measure of the mutual dependence between the two variables. More specifically, it quantifies the "amount of information" (in units such as shannons, commonly called bits) obtained about one random variable through observing the other random variable. The concept of mutual information is intricately linked to that of entropy of a random variable, a fundamental notion in information theory that quantifies the expected "amount of information" held in a random variable.

在概率论和信息论中，两个随机变量的互信息 Mutual Information，MI是两个变量之间相互依赖性的度量。更具体地说，它量化了通过观察另一个随机变量而获得的关于一个随机变量的“信息量”（单位如香农 shannons，通常称为比特）。互信息的概念与随机变量的熵有着错综复杂的联系，熵是信息理论中的一个基本概念，它量化了随机变量中所包含的预期“信息量”。

Not limited to real-valued random variables and linear dependence like the correlation coefficient, MI is more general and determines how different the joint distribution of the pair [math]\displaystyle{ (X,Y) }[/math] is to the product of the marginal distributions of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math]. MI is the expected value of the pointwise mutual information (PMI).

不仅限于实值随机变量和相关系数之类的线性依赖，互信息更为普遍，它决定了一对变量[math]\displaystyle{ (X,Y) }[/math]的联合分布以及 [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] 和 [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] 的边际分布之积有多大的不同。互信息是点态互信息指数 PMI的期望值。

Mutual Information is also known as information gain.

互信息也称为信息增益 Information gain。

定义 Definition

Let [math]\displaystyle{ (X,Y) }[/math] be a pair of random variables with values over the space [math]\displaystyle{ \mathcal{X}\times\mathcal{Y} }[/math]. If their joint distribution is [math]\displaystyle{ P_{(X,Y)} }[/math] and the marginal distributions are [math]\displaystyle{ P_X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ P_Y }[/math], the mutual information is defined as

Notice, as per property of the Kullback–Leibler divergence, that [math]\displaystyle{ I(X;Y) }[/math] is equal to zero precisely when the joint distribution coincides with the product of the marginals, i.e. when [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] are independent (and hence observing [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] tells your nothing about [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math]). In general [math]\displaystyle{ I(X;Y) }[/math] is non-negative, it is a measure of the price for encoding [math]\displaystyle{ (X,Y) }[/math] as a pair of independent random variables, when in reality they are not.

注意，根据 Kullback-Leibler 散度的性质，当联合分布与边际乘积重合时，math i (x; y) / math 恰好等于零，即。当数学 x / 数学和数学 y / 数学是独立的(因此观察数学 y / 数学并不能告诉你数学 x / 数学)。在一般的数学 i (x; y) / math 是非负的，它是一种测量方法，用于将 math (x，y) / math 作为一对独立的随机变量进行编码，而实际上它们并不是。

动机 Motivation

Intuitively, mutual information measures the information that [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] share: It measures how much knowing one of these variables reduces uncertainty about the other. For example, if [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] are independent, then knowing [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] does not give any information about [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] and vice versa, so their mutual information is zero. At the other extreme, if [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is a deterministic function of [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] is a deterministic function of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] then all information conveyed by [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is shared with [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math]: knowing [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] determines the value of [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] and vice versa. As a result, in this case the mutual information is the same as the uncertainty contained in [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] (or [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math]) alone, namely the entropy of [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] (or [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math]). Moreover, this mutual information is the same as the entropy of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and as the entropy of [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math]. (A very special case of this is when [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] are the same random variable.)

直观地说，互信息测量了 math x / math 和 math y / math 共享的信息: 它测量了解其中一个变量减少了另一个变量的不确定性的程度。例如，如果数学 x / math 和数学 y / math 是独立的，那么知道数学 x / math 并不会给出任何关于数学 y / math 的信息，反之亦然，因此它们的相互信息为零。在另一个极端，如果数学 x / math 是数学 y / math 的确定性函数，而数学 y / math 是数学 x / math 的确定性函数，那么数学 x / math 传递的所有信息都与数学 y / math 共享: 知道数学 x / math 决定数学 y / math 的值，反之亦然。因此，在这种情况下，互信息与数学 y / math (或者数学 x / math)中包含的不确定性是一样的，即数学 y / math (或者数学 x / math)的熵。此外，这种互信息与数学 x / 数学的熵和数学 y / 数学的熵是一样的。(一个非常特殊的例子是，当数学 x / math 和数学 y / math 是同一个随机变量时。)

Mutual information is a measure of the inherent dependence expressed in the joint distribution of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] relative to the joint distribution of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] under the assumption of independence. Mutual information therefore measures dependence in the following sense: [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I}(X;Y)=0 }[/math] if and only if [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] are independent random variables. This is easy to see in one direction: if [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] are independent, then [math]\displaystyle{ p_{(X,Y)}(x,y)=p_X(x) \cdot p_Y(y) }[/math], and therefore:

互信息是数学 x / 数学 y / 数学关于数学 x / 数学 y / 数学关于数学 x / 数学 y / 数学关于数学 x / 数学关于数学 y / 数学关于数学 x / 数学关于数学 x / 数学关于数学 y / 数学关于数学关于。因此，互信息在以下意义上度量依赖性: math operatorname { i }(x; y)0 / math 当且仅当 math x / math 和 math y / math 是独立的随机变量。这很容易从一个方向看出来: 如果数学 x / math 和数学 y / math 是独立的，那么数学 p {(x，y)}(x，y) p x (x) cdot py (y) / math，因此:

[math]\displaystyle{ \log{ \left( \frac{p_{(X,Y)}(x,y)}{p_X(x)\,p_Y(y)} \right) } = \log 1 = 0 . }[/math]

(x，y)}{ p x (x) ，p y (y)} log 10. / math

Moreover, mutual information is nonnegative (i.e. [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I}(X;Y) \ge 0 }[/math] see below) and symmetric (i.e. [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I}(X;Y) = \operatorname{I}(Y;X) }[/math] see below).

此外，互信息是非负的(即。(x; y) ge 0 / math 见下文)和对称(即。Math operatorname { i }(x; y) operatorname { i }(y; x) / math 见下文)。

\end{align}</math>

where [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(X) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(Y) }[/math] are the marginal entropies, [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(X|Y) }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(Y|X) }[/math] are the conditional entropies, and [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(X,Y) }[/math] is the joint entropy of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math].

数学

The proofs of the other identities above are similar. The proof of the general case (not just discrete) is similar, with integrals replacing sums.

上述其他恒等式的证明是相似的。一般情况(不仅仅是离散情况)的证明是类似的，用积分代替和。

Intuitively, if entropy [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(Y) }[/math] is regarded as a measure of uncertainty about a random variable, then [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(Y|X) }[/math] is a measure of what [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] does not say about [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math]. This is "the amount of uncertainty remaining about [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] after [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is known", and thus the right side of the second of these equalities can be read as "the amount of uncertainty in [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math], minus the amount of uncertainty in [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] which remains after [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] is known", which is equivalent to "the amount of uncertainty in [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] which is removed by knowing [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math]". This corroborates the intuitive meaning of mutual information as the amount of information (that is, reduction in uncertainty) that knowing either variable provides about the other.

直观地说，如果熵的数学 Eta (y) / 数学被看作是对一个随机变量的不确定性的度量，那么 math (y | x) / math 是对数学 x / math 没有对数学 y / math 进行说明的度量。这是“数学 x / 数学已知后数学 y / 数学剩余的不确定性量” ，因此，第二个等式的右边可以被解读为“数学 y / 数学中的不确定性量，减去数学 y / 数学中的不确定性量，在数学 x / 数学已知后仍然存在的不确定性量” ，这相当于“数学 y / 数学中的不确定性量，通过知道数学 x / 数学而去除”。这证实了互信息的直观含义，即知道任何一个变量提供的关于另一个变量的信息量(即不确定性的减少)。

Note that in the discrete case [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(X|X) = 0 }[/math] and therefore [math]\displaystyle{ \Eta(X) = \operatorname{I}(X;X) }[/math]. Thus [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I}(X; X) \ge \operatorname{I}(X; Y) }[/math], and one can formulate the basic principle that a variable contains at least as much information about itself as any other variable can provide.

注意，在离散情况下 math Eta (x | x)0 / math，因此 math Eta (x) operatorname { i }(x; x) / math。因此 math operatorname { i }(x; x) ge operatorname { i }(x; y) / math，我们可以公式化这样一个基本原则，即一个变量包含的关于它自身的信息至少与任何其他变量所能提供的信息一样多。

The proof for jointly discrete random variables is as follows:

Similarly this identity can be established for jointly continuous random variables.

同样，这个恒等式也可以建立在联合连续的随机变量上。

Note that here the Kullback–Leibler divergence involves integration over the values of the random variable [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] only, and the expression [math]\displaystyle{ D_\text{KL}(p_{X|Y} \parallel p_X) }[/math] still denotes a random variable because [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] is random. Thus mutual information can also be understood as the expectation of the Kullback–Leibler divergence of the univariate distribution [math]\displaystyle{ p_X }[/math] of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] from the conditional distribution [math]\displaystyle{ p_{X|Y} }[/math] of [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] given [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math]: the more different the distributions [math]\displaystyle{ p_{X|Y} }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ p_X }[/math] are on average, the greater the information gain.

注意，这里 Kullback-Leibler 散度只涉及对随机变量 math x / math 的值的积分，而 math d text { KL }(p { x | y } parallel px) / math 表达式仍然表示随机变量，因为 math y / math 是随机的。因此，互信息也可以理解为单变量分布数学公式的 Kullback-Leibler 散度与条件分布数学公式 p { x | y } / 数学公式的数学公式 p { x | y } / 数学公式给定数学公式 y / 数学公式的数学公式的期望值: 平均分布公式 p { x | y } / 数学公式 p x / 数学公式 p x / 数学公式的分布越不相同，信息增益越大。

独立性假设 Independence assumptions

The Kullback-Leibler divergence formulation of the mutual information is predicated on that one is interested in comparing [math]\displaystyle{ p(x,y) }[/math] to the fully factorized outer product [math]\displaystyle{ p(x) \cdot p(y) }[/math]. In many problems, such as non-negative matrix factorization, one is interested in less extreme factorizations; specifically, one wishes to compare [math]\displaystyle{ p(x,y) }[/math] to a low-rank matrix approximation in some unknown variable [math]\displaystyle{ w }[/math]; that is, to what degree one might have

互信息的 Kullback-Leibler 散度公式是基于人们对数学 p (x，y) / math 与完全分解的外积 math p (x) cdot p (y) / math 的比较感兴趣。在许多问题中，比如非负矩阵分解，人们对非极端的因式分解感兴趣; 具体地说，人们希望将数学 p (x，y) / math 与某个未知变量 math w / math 中的低秩矩阵近似值进行比较; 也就是说，人们可能具有的程度

[math]\displaystyle{ p(x,y)\approx \sum_w p^\prime (x,w) p^{\prime\prime}(w,y) }[/math]

约和 w p ^ prime (x，w) p ^ prime }(w，y) / math

Alternately, one might be interested in knowing how much more information [math]\displaystyle{ p(x,y) }[/math] carries over its factorization. In such a case, the excess information that the full distribution [math]\displaystyle{ p(x,y) }[/math] carries over the matrix factorization is given by the Kullback-Leibler divergence

或者，你可能会有兴趣知道 p (x，y) / math 的因式分解会带来多少信息。在这种情况下，完整的分布数学 p (x，y) / 数学传递给矩阵分解的剩余信息是由 Kullback-Leibler 分歧给出的

[math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I}_{LRMA} = \sum_{y \in \mathcal{Y}} \sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} \lt math\gt \operatorname{I}_{LRMA} = \sum_{y \in \mathcal{Y}} \sum_{x \in \mathcal{X}} 数学运算符名称{ i }{ LRMA } sum { y } in 数学{ y } sum { x } {p(x,y) \log{ \left(\frac{p(x,y)}{\sum_w p^\prime (x,w) p^{\prime\prime}(w,y)} {p(x,y) \log{ \left(\frac{p(x,y)}{\sum_w p^\prime (x,w) p^{\prime\prime}(w,y)} { p (x，y) log {( frac { p (x，y)}{和 w ^ prime (x，w) p ^ prime }(w，y)} \right) }}, \right) }}, 开始，开始, }[/math]

数学

The conventional definition of the mutual information is recovered in the extreme case that the process [math]\displaystyle{ W }[/math] has only one value for [math]\displaystyle{ w }[/math].

在进程数学 w / math 只有一个数学 w / math 值的极端情况下，恢复了互信息的传统定义。

变化 Variations

Several variations on mutual information have been proposed to suit various needs. Among these are normalized variants and generalizations to more than two variables.

为了适应不同的需要，已经提出了几种互信息的变体。其中包括对两个以上变量的规范化变量和泛化。

公制 Metric

Many applications require a metric, that is, a distance measure between pairs of points. The quantity

许多应用程序需要一个度量单位，即两个点之间的距离度量单位。数量

[math]\displaystyle{ \lt math\gt 数学 \begin{align} \begin{align} Begin { align } d(X,Y) &= \Eta(X,Y) - \operatorname{I}(X;Y) \\ d(X,Y) &= \Eta(X,Y) - \operatorname{I}(X;Y) \\ D (x，y) & Eta (x，y)-操作者名{ i }(x; y) &= \Eta(X) + \Eta(Y) - 2\operatorname{I}(X;Y) \\ &= \Eta(X) + \Eta(Y) - 2\operatorname{I}(X;Y) \\ & Eta (x) + Eta (y)-2运营商名称{ i }(x; y) &= \Eta(X|Y) + \Eta(Y|X) &= \Eta(X|Y) + \Eta(Y|X) & Eta (x | y) + Eta (y | x) \end{align} \end{align} End { align } }[/math]

</math>

数学

satisfies the properties of a metric (triangle inequality, non-negativity, indiscernability and symmetry). This distance metric is also known as the variation of information.

满足度量的性质(三角不等式、非负性、不可分性和对称性)。这个距离度量也称为信息的变化。

If [math]\displaystyle{ X, Y }[/math] are discrete random variables then all the entropy terms are non-negative, so [math]\displaystyle{ 0 \le d(X,Y) \le \Eta(X,Y) }[/math] and one can define a normalized distance

如果数学 x，y / math 是离散随机变量，那么所有的熵项都是非负的，所以数学0 le d (x，y) le Eta (x，y) / math 可以定义一个标准化距离

[math]\displaystyle{ D(X,Y) = \frac{d(X, Y)}{\Eta(X, Y)} \le 1. }[/math]

数学 d (x，y) frac { d (x，y)}{ Eta (x，y)} le 1. / math

The metric [math]\displaystyle{ D }[/math] is a universal metric, in that if any other distance measure places [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] close-by, then the [math]\displaystyle{ D }[/math] will also judge them close.^[7]模板:Dubious

The metric [math]\displaystyle{ D }[/math] is a universal metric, in that if any other distance measure places [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] close-by, then the [math]\displaystyle{ D }[/math] will also judge them close.

数学公制 d / math 是一个通用的公制，因为如果任何其他距离公制把数学 x / math 和数学 y / math 放在附近，那么数学公制 d / math 也会把它们放在附近。

Plugging in the definitions shows that

插入定义表明

[math]\displaystyle{ D(X,Y) = 1 - \frac{\operatorname{I}(X; Y)}{\Eta(X, Y)}. }[/math]

Math d (x，y)1- frac { operatorname { i }(x; y)}{ Eta (x，y)} . / math

In a set-theoretic interpretation of information (see the figure for Conditional entropy), this is effectively the Jaccard distance between [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math].

在对信息的集合论解释中(见条件熵图) ，这实际上是数学 x / 数学和数学 y / 数学之间的雅可比相似度系数。

Finally,

最后,

[math]\displaystyle{ D^\prime(X, Y) = 1 - \frac{\operatorname{I}(X; Y)}{\max\left\{\Eta(X), \Eta(Y)\right\}} }[/math]

数学 d ^ 素数(x，y)1-frac 算子名{ i }(x; y)}{ max 左 Eta (x) ，Eta (y)右} / math

is also a metric.

也是一个度量标准。

条件互信息 Conditional mutual information

Sometimes it is useful to express the mutual information of two random variables conditioned on a third.

多元互信息 Multivariate mutual information

Several generalizations of mutual information to more than two random variables have been proposed, such as total correlation (or multi-information) and interaction information. The expression and study of multivariate higher-degree mutual-information was achieved in two seemingly independent works: McGill (1954) ^[8] who called these functions “interaction information”, and Hu Kuo Ting (1962) ^[9] who also first proved the possible negativity of mutual-information for degrees higher than 2 and justified algebraically the intuitive correspondence to Venn diagrams ^[10]

For arbitrary k variables, Tapia et al. applied multivariate mutual information to gene expression ^[13] ^[10]). It can be zero, positive, or negative ^[14]. The positivity corresponds to relations generalizing the pairwise correlations, nullity corresponds to a refined notion of independence, and negativity detects high dimensional "emergent" relations and clusterized datapoints ^[13]).

For example, the deterministic mapping [math]\displaystyle{ \{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)\} }[/math] may be viewed as stronger than the deterministic mapping [math]\displaystyle{ \{(1,3),(2,1),(3,2)\} }[/math], although these relationships would yield the same mutual information. This is because the mutual information is not sensitive at all to any inherent ordering in the variable values (Cronbach 1954, Coombs, Dawes & Tversky 1970, Lockhead 1970), and is therefore not sensitive at all to the form of the relational mapping between the associated variables. If it is desired that the former relation—showing agreement on all variable values—be judged stronger than the later relation, then it is possible to use the following weighted mutual information 模板:Harv.

In the above example, using larger relative weights for [math]\displaystyle{ w(1,1) }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ w(2,2) }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ w(3,3) }[/math] would have the effect of assessing greater informativeness for the relation [math]\displaystyle{ \{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)\} }[/math] than for the relation [math]\displaystyle{ \{(1,3),(2,1),(3,2)\} }[/math], which may be desirable in some cases of pattern recognition, and the like.

调整后的互信息 Adjusted mutual information

A probability distribution can be viewed as a partition of a set. One may then ask: if a set were partitioned randomly, what would the distribution of probabilities be? What would the expectation value of the mutual information be? The adjusted mutual information or AMI subtracts the expectation value of the MI, so that the AMI is zero when two different distributions are random, and one when two distributions are identical. The AMI is defined in analogy to the adjusted Rand index of two different partitions of a set.

概率分布可以被看作是集合划分。然后有人可能会问: 如果一个集合被随机分割，概率的分布会是什么？相互信息的期望值是什么？调整后的互信息或 AMI 减去 MI 的期望值，因此当两个不同的分布是随机的时候 AMI 为零，当两个分布是相同的时候 AMI 为零。Ami 的定义类似于一个集合的两个不同分区的调整后的 Rand 指数。

绝对互信息 Absolute mutual information

Using the ideas of Kolmogorov complexity, one can consider the mutual information of two sequences independent of any probability distribution:

利用柯氏复杂性的思想，我们可以考虑两个序列的互信息，这两个序列独立于任何概率分布序列:

To establish that this quantity is symmetric up to a logarithmic factor ([math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I}_K(X;Y) \approx \operatorname{I}_K(Y;X) }[/math]) one requires the chain rule for Kolmogorov complexity {{ |bracket_left= ( |bracket_right = ) }}. Approximations of this quantity via compression can be used to define a distance measure to perform a hierarchical clustering of sequences without having any domain knowledge of the sequences {{ |bracket_left= ( |bracket_right = ) }}.

线性相关 Linear correlation

Unlike correlation coefficients, such as the product moment correlation coefficient, mutual information contains information about all dependence—linear and nonlinear—and not just linear dependence as the correlation coefficient measures. However, in the narrow case that the joint distribution for [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] is a bivariate normal distribution (implying in particular that both marginal distributions are normally distributed), there is an exact relationship between [math]\displaystyle{ \operatorname{I} }[/math] and the correlation coefficient [math]\displaystyle{ \rho }[/math] 模板:Harv.

对于离散数据 For discrete data

When [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] are limited to be in a discrete number of states, observation data is summarized in a contingency table, with row variable [math]\displaystyle{ X }[/math] (or [math]\displaystyle{ i }[/math]) and column variable [math]\displaystyle{ Y }[/math] (or [math]\displaystyle{ j }[/math]). Mutual information is one of the measures of association or correlation between the row and column variables. Other measures of association include Pearson's chi-squared test statistics, G-test statistics, etc. In fact, mutual information is equal to G-test statistics divided by [math]\displaystyle{ 2N }[/math], where [math]\displaystyle{ N }[/math] is the sample size.

当数学 x / 数学和数学 y / 数学被限制在一个离散的数字状态时，观察数据被总结成一个列联表，有行变量 math x / math (或 math i / math)和列变量 math y / math (或 math j / math)。互信息是行变量和列变量之间关联或相关性的度量之一。其他衡量相关性的指标包括皮尔森卡方检验统计数据、 g 测试统计数据等。事实上，互信息等于 g 检验统计除以 math 2N / math，其中 math n / math 是样本量。

Mutual information of words is often used as a significance function for the computation of collocations in corpus linguistics. This has the added complexity that no word-instance is an instance to two different words; rather, one counts instances where 2 words occur adjacent or in close proximity; this slightly complicates the calculation, since the expected probability of one word occurring within [math]\displaystyle{ N }[/math] words of another, goes up with [math]\displaystyle{ N }[/math].

Mutual information is used in medical imaging for image registration. Given a reference image (for example, a brain scan), and a second image which needs to be put into the same coordinate system as the reference image, this image is deformed until the mutual information between it and the reference image is maximized.

In statistical mechanics, Loschmidt's paradox may be expressed in terms of mutual information.^[22]^[23] Loschmidt noted that it must be impossible to determine a physical law which lacks time reversal symmetry (e.g. the second law of thermodynamics) only from physical laws which have this symmetry. He pointed out that the H-theorem of Boltzmann made the assumption that the velocities of particles in a gas were permanently uncorrelated, which removed the time symmetry inherent in the H-theorem. It can be shown that if a system is described by a probability density in phase space, then Liouville's theorem implies that the joint information (negative of the joint entropy) of the distribution remains constant in time. The joint information is equal to the mutual information plus the sum of all the marginal information (negative of the marginal entropies) for each particle coordinate. Boltzmann's assumption amounts to ignoring the mutual information in the calculation of entropy, which yields the thermodynamic entropy (divided by Boltzmann's constant).

The mutual information is used to learn the structure of Bayesian networks/dynamic Bayesian networks, which is thought to explain the causal relationship between random variables, as exemplified by the GlobalMIT toolkit:^[24] learning the globally optimal dynamic Bayesian network with the Mutual Information Test criterion.
