Overview of the information theory quantities used in this work.

Quantity Notation Domain Relationship with other quantities Interpretation
Differential entropy h (Θ) ] − ∞, +∞[ Uncertainty on Θ before any measurement
Conditional diff. entropy h (Θ | Y) ] − ∞, +∞[ h (Θ | Y) = h (Θ, Y) − h (Y) Remaining uncertainty on Θ when Y is known
Mutual information I (Θ, Y) [0, +∞[ I (Θ, Y) = h (Θ) − h (Θ | Y) Statistical dependence between Θ and Y
