Info-metrics is a framework for rational inference based on insufficient information. The complete info-metric framework, accompanied with many interdisciplinary examples and case studies, as well as graphical representations of the theory appear in the new book “Foundations of Info-Metrics: Modeling, Inference and Imperfect Information,” Oxford University Press, 2018. In this commentary, I describe that framework in general terms, demonstrate some of the ideas via simple examples, and provide arguments for using it to transform information into useful knowledge.

建模和推理的信息度量

信息度量是基于信息不足的理性推理框架。完整的信息度量框架，伴随着许多跨学科的例子和案例研究，以及理论的图形表示出现在新书“信息度量的基础：建模、推理和不完美信息”中，牛津大学出版社，2018 年。在这篇评论中，我概括地描述了这个框架，通过简单的例子展示了一些想法，并提供了使用它将信息转化为有用知识的论据。
