Describing the Complexity of Systems: Multivariable “Set Complexity” and the Information Basis of Systems Biology
Context dependence is central to the description of complexity. Keying on the pairwise definition of "set complexity," we use an information theory approach to formulate general measures of systems complexity. We examine the properties of multivariable dependency starting with the concept of interaction information. We then present a new measure …
