چکیده

Shannon entropy used in standard top-down decision trees does not guarantee the best generalization. Split criteria based on generalized entropies offer different compromise between purity of nodes and overall information gain. Modified C4.5 decision trees based on Tsallis and Renyi entropies have been tested on several high-dimensional microarray datasets with interesting results. This approach may be used in any decision tree and information selection algorithm.

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...

A Preferred Definition of Conditional Rényi Entropy

The Rényi entropy is a generalization of Shannon entropy to a one-parameter family of entropies. Tsallis entropy too is a generalization of Shannon entropy. The measure for Tsallis entropy is non-logarithmic. After the introduction of Shannon entropy , the conditional Shannon entropy was derived and its properties became known. Also, for Tsallis entropy, the conditional entropy was introduced a...

Shannon 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.

Network 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...
