I won't actually be at this meeting, as I'm going to my brother's college graduation. I'll be making notes on this page that will hopefully help to get discussions started, but it would be great if someone wanted to volunteer to lead the meeting. -- AustinFrank DateTime(2008-05-14T23:36:17Z)

We're going to the original source for InformationTheory. This serves the joint purpose of a) providing some background for UniformInformationDensity, and b) giving us all a good starting point for making connections to InformationTheory in our StatsMiniCourse.

Required reading

The foundational paper in InformationTheory is [attachment:shannon-48.pdf Shannon '48]. Read at least through page 28 of this PDF file. Pay special attention to Part II, starting on page 19.
