Question A

Given the joint distribution of two random variables $X$ and $Y$ as follows:

$p(X, Y)$ $y = a$ $y = b$ $y = c$
$x = a$ $0$ $1/8$ $1/8$
$x = b$ $1/4$ $0$ $1/4$
$x = c$ $1/8$ $1/8$ $0$

Compute the joint entropy $H(X, Y)$, the mutual information $I(X; Y)$ and the relative entropy $D(X \Vert Y)$. Show your calculation.

Solution for A

Question B

Give proof and its justification for the followings:

  1. The chain rule for joint entropy and conditional entropy.
