Abstract

Schreiber's transfer entropy is an important index for investigating the causal relationship between random variables. The Liang-Kleeman information flow is another analysis to demonstrate the causality within dynamical systems. Horowitz's information flow is introduced through multicomponent stochastic thermodynamics. In this study, I elucidate the relationship between Schreiber's transfer entropy and the Liang-Kleeman information flow through Horowitz's information flow. I consider the case in which the system changes according to the stochastic differential equation. I find that the Liang-Kleeman and Horowitz information flows differ by a term derived from the stochastic fluctuation. I also show that Schreiber's transfer entropy is not less than Horowitz's information flow. This study helps unify various indexes that determine the causal relationship between variables.
