Expected Information Gain

A disciplined gain inside a known space.

Known uncertainty

Expected Information Gain belongs to situations where the candidate observations, uncertainties and decision space can be modeled. The value lies in choosing the next observation that is expected to reduce uncertainty most effectively.

Strategic translation

In market work, this is useful when the field is already describable. You know the alternatives, the signals and the possible updates. The next question can be chosen rationally.

Boundary

Expected Information Gain does not cover the moment when a naive question changes the space itself. That boundary is where Unexpectable Information Gain begins.
