Informaatiopotentiaali
Informaatiopotentiaali refers to the amount of information contained within a signal or data source. It quantifies the reduction in uncertainty or surprise that an observer experiences upon receiving that information. The concept is rooted in information theory, where information is measured in bits. A higher informaatiopotentiaali means that the information is more surprising and carries greater meaning, leading to a significant reduction in the observer's prior uncertainty.
The informatiopotentiaali is inversely related to the probability of the event or message. Rare events or messages
Understanding informaatiopotentiaali is crucial in various fields, including communication systems, data compression, and machine learning. It
