Science from Fisher Information: A Unification by B. Roy Frieden (English) Hardc

Description: Science from Fisher Information by B. Roy Frieden Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This second edition of Physics from Fisher Information has been completely rewritten and includes much new material. This unified interpretation of the laws of science will be fascinating to students and researchers from all areas of science, particularly those who desire a new mathematical tool for their field. Publisher Description This book develops and applies an analytical approach to deriving the probability laws of science in general. It is called extreme physical information or EPI. EPI is an expression of the imperfection of observation: Owing to random interaction of a subject with its observer and other possible disturbances, its measurement contains less Fisher information than does the subject per se. Moreover, the information loss is an extreme value. An EPI output may alternatively be viewed as the payoff of a zero-sum game of information acquisition between the observer and a demon in subject space. EPI derives, Escher-like, the very probability law that gave rise to the measurement. In applications, EPI is used to derive both existing and new analytical relations governing probability laws of physics, genetics, cancer growth, ecology and economics. This unified approach will be fascinating to students and those who seek a new mathematical tool of research. Author Biography Professor Emeritus - B.
