Abstrakt: AbstractIn the present communication an information theoretic dependence measure has been defined using maximum entropy principle, which measures amount of dependence among the attributes in a contingency table. A relation between information theoretic measure of dependence and Chi-square statistic has been discussed. A generalization of this information theoretic dependence measure has been also studied.
