- Optimal Bounds for Estimating Entropy with PMF Queries
In this work we will be concerned with the associated task of estimating the entropy of an unknown p within a con dence Work performed while the author was at the Bogazici University Computer Engi-neering Department, supported by Marie Curie International Incoming Fellowship project number 626373 3 In this paper, log denotes log2
- Question regarding the Entropy of a probability mass function
Suppose I have two candidate pmf's of X, denoted as $p_1 (X)= [0 5,0 2,0 3]$ and $p_2 (X)= [0 2, 0 3,0 5]$ Clearly, both these pmf's have the same entropy, since their constituent probabilities are the same

Given this notion, entropy can be interpreted as the expected surprise Later in this lecture, we will have several examples that will help support this interpretation

The entropy measures the expected uncertainty in X We also say that H(X) is approximately equal to how much information we learn on average from one instance of the random variable X Note that the base of the algorithm is not important since changing the base only changes the value of the entropy by a multiplicative constant

Computes the entropy of a random variable with a given pmf Let X X be a random variable with pmf p X pX and alphabet X X Its entropy is given by H (X) = ∑ x ∈ X p X (x) log 1 p X (x) H(X) = x∈X ∑pX (x)log pX (x)1 By default, the base of the logarithm is 2 2, in which case the entropy is measured in bits For more details, see CT06
- Ordinal Symbolic Permutation Entropy Estimation
The ordinal entropy is bounded between 0 and log (n!) For demonstration, we generate a dataset of normally distributed values with mean 0 and standard deviation 1 The analytical equation of the other approaches does not hold; as for ordinal entropy, the pmf of the ordinal patterns is analysed

Before discussing various properties of entropy and conditional entropy, let us first review some relevant facts from convex analysis, which will be used extensively throughout the book
