Generation

Mutual information quantifies the amount of information shared between two variables, measuring how much knowing one variable reduces uncertainty about the other. It captures all types of dependencies (linear and nonlinear) between variables, making it more general than correlation. This makes it significant in fields like machine learning, information theory, and neuroscience for feature selection, data compression, and understanding relationships in complex systems.
