Shannon Entropy , Renyi Entropy , and Information

چکیده
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.

The Rate of Entropy for Gaussian Processes
In this paper, we show that in order to obtain the Tsallis entropy rate for stochastic processes, we can use the limit of conditional entropy, as it was done for the case of Shannon and Renyi entropy rates. Using that we can obtain Tsallis entropy rate for stationary Gaussian processes. Finally, we derive the relation between Renyi, Shannon and Tsallis entropy rates for stationary Gaussian proc...
متن کاملNetwork Entropies of the Chinese Financial Market
Based on the data from the Chinese financial market, this paper focuses on analyzing three types of network entropies of the financial market, namely, Shannon, Renyi and Tsallis entropies. The findings suggest that Shannon entropy can reflect the volatility of the financial market, that Renyi and Tsallis entropies also have this function when their parameter has a positive value, and that Renyi...
متن کاملCramér-Rao and moment-entropy inequalities for Renyi entropy and generalized Fisher information
The moment-entropy inequality shows that a continuous random variable with given second moment and maximal Shannon entropy must be Gaussian. Stam’s inequality shows that a continuous random variable with given Fisher information and minimal Shannon entropy must also be Gaussian. The CramérRao inequality is a direct consequence of these two inequalities. In this paper the inequalities above are ...
متن کاملExtended inequalities for weighted Renyi entropy involving generalized Gaussian densities
In this paper the author analyzes the weighted Renyi entropy in order to derive several inequalities in weighted case. Furthermore, using the proposed notions α-th generalized deviation and (α, p)-th weighted Fisher information, extended versions of the moment-entropy, Fisher information and Cramér-Rao inequalities in terms of generalized Gaussian densities are given. 1 The weighted p-Renyi ent...
متن کاملShannon and Renyi Entropy of Wavelets
This paper reports a new reading for wavelets, which is based on the classical ’De Broglie’ principle. The waveparticle duality principle is adapted to wavelets. Every continuous basic wavelet is associated with a proper probability density, allowing defining the Shannon entropy of a wavelet. Further entropy definitions are considered, such as Jumarie or Renyi entropy of wavelets. We proved tha...
