Summary

Assume we are able to obtain the joint probability for a set of time series representing a complex system. Based on the joint probabilities, information theory can help to analyse the nature of the interdependence in the system. It is particularly important to be able to distinguish between different types of emergent behaviour, such as synergy or redundancy.
