On Thermodynamic Interpretation of Transfer Entropy

On Thermodynamic Interpretation of Transfer Entropy

We propose a thermodynamic interpretation of transfer entropy near equilibrium, using a specialised Boltzmann’s principle. The approach relates conditional probabilities to the probabilities of the corresponding state transitions. This in turn characterises transfer entropy as a difference of two en...
