Abstract
We have proved in Section 6.5 that if X1 → X2 → X3 → X4 forms a Markov chain, the I-Measure μ* always vanishes on the five atoms
Consequently, the I-Measure μ* is completely specified by the values of J.L* on the other ten nonempty atoms of F4, and the information diagram for four random variables forming a Markov chain can be displayed in two dimensions as in Figure 6.11.
