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 کاملBoltzmann-Shannon Entropy:Generalization and Application
The paper deals with the generalization of both Boltzmann entropy and distribution in the light of most-probable interpretation of statistical equilibrium. The statistical analysis of the generalized entropy and distribution leads to some new interesting results of significant physical importance.
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.
متن کاملDetermination of weight vector by using a pairwise comparison matrix based on DEA and Shannon entropy
The relation between the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a topic of interest to researchers in this branch of applied mathematics. In this paper, we propose a linear programming model that generates a weight (priority) vector from a pairwise comparison matrix. In this method, which is referred to as the E-DEAHP method, we consider each row of the pairwise...
متن کاملOn convergence properties of Shannon entropy
Convergence properties of Shannon Entropy are studied. In the differential setting, it is shown that weak convergence of probability measures, or convergence in distribution, is not enough for convergence of the associated differential entropies. A general result for the desired differential entropy convergence is provided, taking into account both compactly and uncompactly supported densities....
