  2. Entropy (information theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(information_theory)

    The first 128 symbols of the Fibonacci sequence has an entropy of approximately 7 bits/symbol, but the sequence can be expressed using a formula [F(n) = F(n−1) + F(n−2) for n = 3, 4, 5, ..., F(1) =1, F(2) = 1] and this formula has a much lower entropy and applies to any length of the Fibonacci sequence.

    Common values of b are 2, Euler's number e, and 10, and the unit of entropy is shannon (or bit) for b = 2, nat for b = e, and hartley for b = 10. [ 1 ] Mathematically H may also be seen as an average information, taken over the message space, because when a certain message occurs with probability p i , the information quantity −log( p i ...

  5. Cross-entropy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-entropy

    This is also known as the log loss (or logarithmic loss [4] or logistic loss); [5] the terms "log loss" and "cross-entropy loss" are used interchangeably. [ 6 ] More specifically, consider a binary regression model which can be used to classify observations into two possible classes (often simply labelled 0 {\displaystyle 0} and 1 ...

  6. Entropy (order and disorder) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_(order_and_disorder)

    The relationship between entropy, order, and disorder in the Boltzmann equation is so clear among physicists that according to the views of thermodynamic ecologists Sven Jorgensen and Yuri Svirezhev, "it is obvious that entropy is a measure of order or, most likely, disorder in the system."

  7. Binary entropy function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_entropy_function

    When = /, the binary entropy function attains its maximum value, 1 shannon (1 binary unit of information); this is the case of an unbiased coin flip. When p = 0 {\displaystyle p=0} or p = 1 {\displaystyle p=1} , the binary entropy is 0 (in any units), corresponding to no information, since there is no uncertainty in the variable.

  8. Uncertainty coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_coefficient

    In statistics, the uncertainty coefficient, also called proficiency, entropy coefficient or Theil's U, is a measure of nominal association. It was first introduced by Henri Theil [ citation needed ] and is based on the concept of information entropy .

  9. Crocco's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocco's_Theorem

    Crocco's theorem is an aerodynamic theorem relating the flow velocity, vorticity, and stagnation pressure (or entropy) of a potential flow. Crocco's theorem gives the relation between the thermodynamics and fluid kinematics. The theorem was first enunciated by Alexander Friedmann for the particular case of a perfect gas and published in 1922: [1]
