This revised edition offers an approach to information theory that
is more general than the classical approach of Shannon.
Classically, information is defined for an alphabet of symbols or
for a set of mutually exclusive propositions (a partition of the
probability space ) with corresponding probabilities adding up to
1. The new definition is given for an arbitrary cover of , i.e. for
a set of possibly overlapping propositions. The generalized
information concept is called novelty and it is accompanied by two
concepts derived from it, designated as information and surprise,
which describe "opposite" versions of novelty, information being
related more to classical information theory and surprise being
related more to the classical concept of statistical significance.
In the discussion of these three concepts and their interrelations
several properties or classes of covers are defined, which turn out
to be lattices. The book also presents applications of these
concepts, mostly in statistics and in neuroscience.
