Information entropy, applications. Average mutual information. Continuous and discrete communication channel. Relationship of information and thermodynamic entropy. Principle of maximal entropy. Relationship between information and thermodynamic entropy. Biosystem organization, models and system identification. Introduction to statistical decision making, testing of statistical hypothesis. Examples of typical applications of nonlinear and information analysis in biology and medicine.
- Requirements:

As a standard, full-time teaching takes place and the course ends with an oral exam, which is preceded by written preparation. If the number of students is less than 5, teaching can take place at a distance in the form of guided self-study with regular consultations. Furthermore, the student prepares a written study on a given topic in the field. The condition for admission to the exam is the completion of two laboratory exercises (evidenced by a protocol signed by the student, the head of the exercise and the guarantor of the course). The protocols will be archived in the doctoral study material.
