[Note 1] The choice of base for , the logarithm, varies for different applications. Base 2 gives the unit of bits (or "shannons"), while base e gives "natural units" nat, and base 10 gives units of "dits", "bans", or "hartleys". An equivalent definition of entropy is the expected value of the self-information of a variable. [1]
Quizlet was founded in 2005 by Andrew Sutherland as a studying tool to aid in memorization for his French class, which he claimed to have "aced". [ 6 ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] Quizlet's blog, written mostly by Andrew in the earlier days of the company, claims it had reached 50,000 registered users in 252 days online. [ 9 ]
Claude E. Shannon first used the word "bit" in his seminal 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". [8] [9] [10] He attributed its origin to John W. Tukey, who had written a Bell Labs memo on 9 January 1947 in which he contracted "binary information digit" to simply "bit". [8]
The most notable part of his return to the Cowboys came in Week 9 when he was inactive after missing and being late to team meetings and events.
For example, a logarithm of base 2 8 = 256 will produce a measurement in bytes per symbol, and a logarithm of base 10 will produce a measurement in decimal digits (or hartleys) per symbol. Intuitively, the entropy H X of a discrete random variable X is a measure of the amount of uncertainty associated with the value of X when only its ...
A New Jersey congressman claimed Wednesday that the mystery drones over the Garden State are from Iran, and they’re being launched by a mothership parked off the East Coast.
Zach Ertz caught three passes for 16 yards and a touchdown in overtime last night, clinching all three of his incentives and making OT worth an extra $750,000 for him.
If the right-hand side of the assignment is a single variable (e.g. an array or structure), the feature is called unpacking [17] or destructuring assignment: [18] var list := {0, 1} a, b := list The list will be unpacked so that 0 is assigned to a and 1 to b .
