On 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 کاملShannon Entropy , Renyi Entropy , and Information
This memo contains proofs that the Shannon entropy is the limiting case of both the Renyi entropy and the Tsallis entropy, or information. These results are also confirmed experimentally. We conclude with some general observations on the utility of entropy measures. A brief summary of the origins of the concept of physical entropy are provided in an appendix.
متن کاملRényi Extrapolation of Shannon Entropy
Relations between Shannon entropy and Rényi entropies of integer order are discussed. For any N–point discrete probability distribution for which the Rényi entropies of order two and three are known, we provide an lower and an upper bound for the Shannon entropy. The average of both bounds provide an explicit extrapolation for this quantity. These results imply relations between the von Neumann...
متن کاملShannon Entropy vs. Kolmogorov Complexity
Most assertions involving Shannon entropy have their Kolmogorov complexity counterparts. A general theorem of Romashchenko [4] states that every information inequality that is valid in Shannon’s theory is also valid in Kolmogorov’s theory, and vice verse. In this paper we prove that this is no longer true for ∀∃-assertions, exhibiting the first example where the formal analogy between Shannon e...
متن کاملA note on Shannon entropy
We present a somewhat different way of looking on Shannon entropy. This leads to an axiomatisation of Shannon entropy that is essentially equivalent to that of Fadeev.
