Statistical Mechanics and Entropy

The Tsallis index of the human cortical transcriptome is invariant between bipolar II disorder and control: a pre-registered, cross-platform null with the disease question relocated to correlation structure

The paper tests if the Tsallis index q differs between bipolar II disorder and controls, finding no difference and suggesting disease signals may reside in correlation structures instead.

HORDCOIN: A Software Library for Higher Order Connected Information and Entropic Constraints Approximation

This paper introduces HORDCOIN, a software library for computing connected information using entropic constraints, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting higher-order interactions in biomedical data.

SiGMoiD: A super-statistical generative model for binary data

SiGMoiD is a generative model for binary data that infers constraints from data and handles large variable counts, enabling clustering and reduced dimensionality.

Maximum-entropy and representative samples of neuronal activity: a dilemma

The paper compares two approaches for applying maximum-entropy methods to neuronal activity samples and discusses their implications for sampling in neuroscience.

Estimation of mutual information for real-valued data with error bars and controlled bias

The paper improves a mutual information estimator by expanding its applicability and adding methods for bias verification, variance estimation, and parameter selection, tested on synthetic and biological data.
