TLDR
This final installment of the paper considers the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now.Abstract:
In this final installment of the paper we consider the case where the signals or the messages or both are continuously variable, in contrast with the discrete nature assumed until now. To a considerable extent the continuous case can be obtained through a limiting process from the discrete case by dividing the continuum of messages and signals into a large but finite number of small regions and calculating the various parameters involved on a discrete basis. As the size of the regions is decreased these parameters in general approach as limits the proper values for the continuous case. There are, however, a few new effects that appear and also a general change of emphasis in the direction of specialization of the general results to particular cases.read more

Reciprocal interactions and adjustments between fluvial landforms and vegetation dynamics in river corridors: A review of complementary approaches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a detailed literature review of fluvial geomorphology, riparian plant ecology and hydraulic engineering knowledge, and propose a "fluvial biogeomorphic succession" concept.

Information Theoretic Learning
TL;DR: In this article, the assumption of Gaussianity for the measurement error combined with the maximum likelihood principle could be emphasized to promote the least square criterion for nonlinear regression problems; considering classification as a regression problem towards estimating class posterior probabilities, least squares has been employed to train neural network and other classifier topologies to approximate correct labels.

A fuzzy VIKOR method for supplier selection based on entropy measure for objective weighting
TL;DR: This paper treats supplier selection as a group multiple criteria decision making (GMCDM) problem and obtain decision makers' opinions in the form of linguistic terms which are converted to trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and extended the VIKOR method with a mechanism to extract and deploy objective weights based on Shannon entropy concept.

Optimal Sticky Prices under Rational Inattention
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model in which price setting firms decide what to pay attention to, subject to a constraint on information flow, and investigate how the optimal allocation of attention and the dynamics of prices depend on the firms' environment.

Information is physical
TL;DR: It was not hard to associate a logic gate with a degree of freedom, then to associate kT with that, and presume that this energy has to be dissipated at every step as discussed by the authors.

Transmission of information
TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative measure of information is developed which is based on physical as contrasted with psychological considerations, and how the rate of transmission of this information over a system is limited by the distortion resulting from storage of energy is discussed from the transient viewpoint.

Certain factors affecting telegraph speed
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the wave shape depends somewhat on the type of circuit over which intelligence is to be transmitted and that for most cases the optimum wave is neither rectangular nor a half cycle sine wave as is frequently used but a wave of special form produced by sending a simple rectangular wave through a suitable network.
