Author Description

"The goal of the book is to provide a detailed and unified study of the flow of information in a quantitative manner, utilizing methods and techniques from information theory, time series analysis, nonlinear dynamics, and neural networks. The authors use analysis of test-bed simulations, empirical data, and real-world applications to give concrete perspectives and reinforcement for the key conceptual ideas and methods. The formulation provides a unique and consistent conceptual framework for the problem of discovering knowledge behind empirical data." "The book is an essential text/reference on the latest concepts and methods for studying quantitative modeling of nonlinear dynamical system behavior. Postgraduates, professionals, and researchers in science, engineering, computer science, and neural computing will find the book a useful and authoritative resource for the subject."--BOOK JACKET.
