Entropy

Rating:
Type: Course Related Materials
Subject: Science and Technology
Collection: Connexions
Grade Level: Post-secondary

Abstract: This module presents a quantification of information by the use of entropy. Entropy, or average self-information, measures the uncertainty of a source and hence provides a measure of the information it could reveal.
