I am concerned that the book Li, Ming; Vitányi, Paul (February 1997) does not appear to Google Books to contain the phrase "chain rule". Can anyone give a page reference? [[User:Deltahedron|Deltahedron]] ([[User talk:Deltahedron|talk]]) 17:02, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
: "Chain rule", as a term, does not appear in Li & Vitányi. They use [[conditional complexity]] for H(x|y), but that term isn't mentioned here. It's possible that the older sources might use this terminology, but it also might be the case of someone writing stuff in wikipedia in their own terminology. Similar expressions are called "chain rule" in other fields. [[User:JMP EAX|JMP EAX]] ([[User talk:JMP EAX|talk]]) 12:38, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
