Natural selection最大化Fisher信息

Natural selection maximizes Fisher information

Steven A. Frank

摘要:

在生物学中,信息通过自然选择的过程从环境流向基因组。但是,究竟什么样的信息度量才能恰当地描述自然选择,目前还不清楚。在这里,我表明,费舍尔信息出现的自然选择和演化动力学的内在度量。最大限度地利用种群所获取的关于环境的费雪信息,可以得出费雪自然选择基本定理,这是关于自然选择如何影响演化动力学的最深刻的陈述。我还显示了费舍尔信息和香农信息(熵),可能有助于统一信息和动态之间的对应关系。最后,我讨论了Fisher信息在统计学、生物学和其他科学领域中的基本作用之间的可能联系。

英文摘要:

In biology, information flows from the environment to the genome by the process of natural selection. But it has not been clear precisely what sort of information metric properly describes natural selection. Here, I show that Fisher information arises as the intrinsic metric of natural selection and evolutionary dynamics. Maximizing the amount of Fisher information about the environment captured by the population leads to Fisher's fundamental theorem of natural selection, the most profound statement about how natural selection influences evolutionary dynamics. I also show a relation between Fisher information and Shannon information (entropy) that may help to unify the correspondence between information and dynamics. Finally, I discuss possible connections between the fundamental role of Fisher information in statistics, biology, and other fields of science.
