Cumulative Residual Entropy: A New Measure of Information

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 2004
In this paper, we use the cumulative distribution of a random variable to define its information content and thereby develop an alternative measure of uncertainty that extends Shannon entropy to random variables with continuous distributions. We call this measure cumulative residual entropy (CRE).

On intuitionistic fuzzy order-α divergence and entropy measures with MABAC method for multiple attribute group decision-making

Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2020
The development of information measures associated with fuzzy and intuitionistic fuzzy sets is an important research area from the past few decades. Divergence and entropy are two significant information measures in the intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS ...

Information and Entropy Measures of Rendered Literal Translation

2021
The definition and effect of translation literality (word-for-word translation, as opposed to sense-for-sense translation) have been a topic in translation studies for very many years. Schaeffer and Carl (2014) introduced measures to quantify the literality of observed translations based on their distance to a hypothetical absolutely literal ...

Measuring Informativeness of Data by Entropy and Variance

1999
Measuring informativeness of data or news is particularly important as it quantifies the amount of “learning”. This is central to scientific progress as well as to assessing the direction and value of “information” and technologies. As is the case with all “indices”, the desirability of any measure of information depends on at least two considerations:

Information entropy as a measure of DEM quality

Computers & Geosciences, 2012
The Shannon-Weaver Information statistic has been proposed as a useful measure of the quality of a Digital Elevation Model. However the statistic, usually referred to as entropy, is based purely on the range of values in a dataset and their relative proportion and is not directly related to the accuracy of those values or their spatial arrangement ...

The relationship of entropy‐related measures to money information

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, 2008
AbstractThe specific purpose of this paper is to trace the development of entropy‐related thought from its thermodynamic origins through its organizational and economic applications to its relationship to money information. That trace reveals that existing entropy measures are of states or changes in states that are caused by energy processes.

Analysis of remote sensing time-series data to foster ecosystem sustainability: use of temporal information entropy

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2018
Remotely sensed time-series data have provided valuable information and sound foundations for ecological sustainability studies. Ecosystem sustainability has been viewed as a dynamic process that requires an ecosystem to deal with climate change and ...
