Reason: First version: move information as the mean square of the weighted move score, the discrete analogue of a directional Fisher information.

Statement

Let m1m\ge1 and n1n\ge1 be natural numbers, let pp be a discrete probability mass function on Euclidean space Rm\mathbb{R}^m, put S={xRm:p(x)>0}\mathsf{S}=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^m:p(x)>0\}, let a=(a1,,an)a=(a_1,\dots,a_n) be a family of points of Rm\mathbb{R}^m (the moves) and w=(w1,,wn)Rnw=(w_1,\dots,w_n)\in\mathbb{R}^n (the weights), and let ρp,a,w:SR\rho_{p,a,w}:\mathsf{S}\to\mathbb{R} be the move score. The move information of pp for aa and ww is

J(p;a,w)=xSp(x)ρp,a,w(x)2[0,],\mathsf{J}(p;a,w)=\sum_{x\in\mathsf{S}}p(x)\,\rho_{p,a,w}(x)^{2}\in[0,\infty],

the sum over S\mathsf{S} of the nonnegative function xp(x)ρp,a,w(x)2x\mapsto p(x)\rho_{p,a,w}(x)^{2} on S\mathsf{S}.
