Information about Information Conference Paper

abstract

• In a situation where one can obtain probabilistic information about an event, it may also be possible to learn something about the reliability of that information. This "information about information" may not improve one's guessing position in a single instance, but will help when there are multiple independent trials based on one event. We offer a means of measuring the amount of this elusive type of information, and gauging its effect.
