Self information transfer in maps

Abstract

The concept of transfer entropy is best understood within the context of information theory. Information is any event thatcan change the state of a system. The general idea is to optimally encode messages such that they can be transmitted more quickly. The quantify the information that can be claculated from a specific sequence of transmitted symbols. Based on the measure of information transfer beweeten two variables, we define the self-inoframtion transer for time series of maps. This quantity can characterize periodc orbits
