It states the channel capacity in bits per second, given bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio
It states the channel capacity in bits per second, given bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio
Shannon's channel capacity: C = B log₂(1 + S/N) bits per second
Shannon's formula: C = B log₂(1 + S/N) defines channel capacity in bits/s
How does the concept of information entropy, as described by Claude Shannon, contribute to understanding the complexity and unpredictability of communication systems?
Information entropy quantifies uncertainty and complexity in communication systems, aiding in efficient data encoding and transmission
What the information ratio measures — excess return per unit of tracking error vs a benchmark
Information ratio measures excess return per unit of tracking error relative to a benchmark
What the Coase theorem says — with zero transaction costs, parties negotiate efficient outcomes
Coase theorem: Zero transaction costs lead to efficient resource allocation through bargaining
What the Nyquist theorem says: sample at ≥ 2× the highest frequency to avoid aliasing
Nyquist theorem: Sample rate ≥ 2*highest frequency to prevent frequency aliasing
What the Sharpe ratio measures — excess return per unit of risk: (R - Rf) / σ
Sharpe ratio: Excess return per standard deviation of portfolio returns
