Collision Entropy Estimation in a One-Line Formula

ePrint Report: Collision Entropy Estimation in a One-Line Formula

Alessandro Gecchele

Integer-order Rényi entropies are synthetic indices useful for the characterization of probability distributions. In recent decades, numerous studies have been conducted to arrive at valid estimates of these indices starting from experimental data, so to derive a suitable classification method for the underlying processes. However, optimal solutions have not been reached yet. A one-line formula limited to the estimation of collision entropy is presented here. The results of some …
