A generalized definition of geometric partition entropy is now provided for samples within a bounded (finite measure) region of a d-dimensional vector space. The basic definition invokes the concept of a Voronoi diagram, but the computational complexity and reliability of Voronoi diagrams in high dimension make estimation by direct theoretical computation unreasonable. This leads to the development of approximation schemes that enable estimation that is faster than the current methods by orders of magnitude. The partition intersection (π) approximation, in particular, enables direct estimates of marginal entropy in any context resulting in an efficient and versatile mutual information estimator. This new measure-based paradigm for data-driven information theory allows flexibility in the incorporation of geometry to vary the representation of outlier impact, which leads to a significant broadening in the applicability of the established entropy-based concepts. The incorporation of informative outliers is illustrated through analysis of transient dynamics in the synchronization of coupled chaotic dynamical systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":9974,"journal":{"name":"Chaos","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143662972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their frequency stability is impacted by supply and demand changes, including deterministic and stochastic dynamics, e.g., from market activities or fluctuating renewables. The first two Kramers-Moyal coefficients allow for a description of both the deterministic (via drift) and stochastic (via diffusion) aspects of these dynamics. Such a description and understanding could be critical to stabilizing power systems. However, how drift and diffusion differ between synchronous areas, how they vary over time, and how the generation mix influences them, remains unclear. Analyzing temporal patterns in drift and diffusion for frequency data from Australia (AUS) and Continental Europe (CE), we reveal a positive correlation between drift and diffusion. In addition, we utilize both gradient-boosted trees and neural network models to train drift and diffusion models for AUS and CE.
