DiscreteEntropy.jl
DiscreteEntropy is a Julia package to estimate the Shannon entropy of discrete random variables. It contains implementations of
many popular entropy estimators, such as Chao-Shen, NSB, Miller-Madow and various Bayesian estimators. Moreoever, it also contains functions
for estimating cross entropy, KL divergence, mutual information, conditional information, Theil's U and other entropy measures.
It supports Jackknife and Bayesian Bootstrap resampling for data poor estimation.
For more information, see the documentation.
Quick Example
julia> using DiscreteEntropy
julia> data = [1,2,3,4,3,2,1];
julia> h = estimate_h(from_data(data, Histogram), ChaoShen)
julia> 2.0775715569320012
