Expected Shannon Entropy and Shannon Differentiation between Subpopulations for Neutral Genes under the Finite Island Model
Shannon entropy H and related measures are increasingly used in molecular ecology and population genetics because (1) unlike measures based on heterozygosity or allele number, these measures weigh alleles in proportion to their population fraction, thus capturing a previously-ignored aspect of allele frequency distributions that may be important in many applications; (2) these measures connect ...
متن کاملOn the Estimation of Shannon Entropy
Shannon entropy is increasingly used in many applications. In this article, an estimator of the entropy of a continuous random variable is proposed. Consistency and scale invariance of variance and mean squared error of the proposed estimator is proved and then comparisons are made with Vasicek's (1976), van Es (1992), Ebrahimi et al. (1994) and Correa (1995) entropy estimators. A simulation st...
متن کاملFinite size scaling for the atomic Shannon-information entropy.
We have developed the finite size scaling method to treat the criticality of Shannon-information entropy for any given quantum Hamiltonian. This approach gives very accurate results for the critical parameters by using a systematic expansion in a finite basis set. To illustrate this approach we present a study to estimate the critical exponents of the Shannon-information entropy S approximately...
متن کاملFinite Polylogarithms, Their Multiple Analogues and the Shannon Entropy
We show that the entropy function—and hence the finite 1-logarithm—behaves a lot like certain derivations. We recall its cohomological interpretation as a 2-cocycle and also deduce 2n-cocycles for any n. Finally, we give some identities for finite multiple polylogarithms together with number theoretic applications. 1 Information theory, Entropy and Polylogarithms It is well known that the notio...
متن کاملShannon and Non Shannon Entropy Based MRI Image Segmentation
Image Segmentation plays an important role in medical field that enable professionals to detect their patient’s problems and help them to get proper diagnosed. In this article, an entropy based approach for image segmentation is discussed to highlight tumor in MRI images. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging, in which pixel values are based on radiation absorption. In the proposed app...
