Entropy as a measure of quality of XML schema document
In this paper, a metric for the assessment of the structural complexity of eXtensible Markup Language schema document is formulated. The present metric ‘Schema Entropy is based on entropy concept and intended to measure the complexity of the schema documents written in W3C XML Schema Language due to diversity in the structures of its elements. The SE is useful in evaluating the efficiency of th...
متن کاملEntropy as a Measure of Average Loss of Privacy
Privacy means that not everything about a person is known, that we need to ask additional questions to get the full information about the person. It therefore seems to reasonable to gauge the degree of privacy in each situation by the average number of binary (“yes”-“no”) questions that we need to ask to determine the full information – which is exactly Shannon’s entropy. The problem with this ...
متن کاملCross Entropy as a Measure of Musical Contrast
We present a preliminary study of using the information theoretic concept of cross entropy to measure musical contrast in a symbolic context, with a focus on melody. We measure cross entropy using the Information Dynamics Of Music (IDyOM) framework. Whilst our long term aim is to understand the use of contrast in sonata form, in this paper we take a more general perspective and look at a broad ...
متن کاملRelative entropy as a measure of diagnostic information.
Relative entropy is a concept within information theory that provides a measure of the distance between two probability distributions. The author proposes that the amount of information gained by performing a diagnostic test can be quantified by calculating the relative entropy between the posttest and pretest probability distributions. This statistic, in essence, quantifies the degree to which...
متن کاملEntropy as a Measure of Object-Oriented Design Quality
In this paper, object-oriented designs are approached from an information theoretic point of view and entropy is proposed as a design quality metric. One of the primary aims of object-orientation is the flexibility and the ease in extending a system’s functionality, with limited alterations to existing modules. This feature is evaluated defining an appropriate probability space according to the...
