β¦ Synopsis
Suppose X1; : : : ; Xn are IID p(β’|Γ; ) where (Γ; ) β R d is distributed according to the prior density w(β’). For estimators Sn =S(X ) and Tn =T (X ) assumed to be consistent for some function of Γ and asymptotically normal, we examine the conditional Shannon mutual information (CSMI) between and Tn given and Sn, I ( ; Tn| ; Sn). It is seen there are several important special cases of this CSMI. We establish asymptotic formulas for various cases and identify the resulting noninformative reference priors. As a consequence, we develop the notion of data-dependent priors and a calibration for how close an estimator is to su ciency.

## Abstract The ^13^CβNMR chemical shifts of dicyanocobyrinic acid heptamethyl ester (**1**), an important corrinoid model compound, are correlated with those of some derivatives. Isotope effects on the ^13^C chemical shifts (over two to four bonds) are observed for the 10βdeuterio and the 10,13βdi
