Transfer Entropy Analysis of the Interactions of Flying Bats
… for behavioral experiments. Following is a transfer entropy analysis approach applied to the 3D paths of bats flying in pairs. The 3D trajectories are one-dimensionally characterized as inverse curvature time series to allow for entropy calculations. In addition to a traditional formulation …

Effects of Echolocation Calls on the Interactions of Bat Pairs using Transfer Entropy Analysis
… using the information theoretic measure of transfer entropy in order to quantify the interaction between pairs of bats and to determine the effect echolocation calls have on this interaction. Results show that there is evidence of information transfer in both the speed of the bats and their …

Machine learning and information-theoretic approaches for financial applications
… announcements effects the announcing firm and is transferred to or incorporated by other firms. Existing literature in finance and accounting focuses on measuring information transfers as effects stemming from firm-specific information releases. In Chapter 3, we discuss a solution to estimate …

Time-frequency domain analysis of exchange rate market integration in Southern Africa Development Community: A Hilbert-Huang Transform approach
… similarities, interdependence, and information transfer across exchange rate markets in Southern African Development Community (SADC) is a necessity to measure the extent of integration in the region. However, the intrinsic complexity of exchange rate data generation and its stylised …

Geographic and demographic transmission patterns of the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic in the United States
This thesis describes how transmission of the 2009 A/H1N1 influenza pandemic in the United States varied geographically, with emphasis on population distribution and age structure. This is made possible by the availability of medical claims records maintained in the private sector that capture the …

Addressing nonlinear systems with information-theoretical techniques
… from Shannon’s work was to discover that entropy is a measure of information and that computing the entropy of a sequence, or a signal, can answer to the question of how much information is contained in the sequence. Or, alternatively, considering the source, i.e. the system, that …
