Abstract
Broekstra [1] introduced the use of information theoretic quantities in structure modelling. The basic idea is that in any statistically analysable system of variables, the effects of some variables on others are reflected statistically as non-independence of the variables involved. This deviation from independence is indicated by the term “constraint.”
