Information Entropy Measure for Evaluation of Image Quality [PDF]
This paper presents a simple and straightforward method for synthetically evaluating digital radiographic images by a single parameter in terms of transmitted information (TI). The features of our proposed method are (1) simplicity of computation, (2) simplicity of experimentation, and (3) combined assessment of image noise and resolution (blur).

The Information Loss of a Stochastic Map
We provide a stochastic extension of the Baez–Fritz–Leinster characterization of the Shannon information loss associated with a measure-preserving function. This recovers the conditional entropy and a closely related information-theoretic measure that we

Entropy Measures of Probabilistic Linguistic Term Sets
The probabilistic linguistic term sets (PLTSs) are powerful to deal with the hesitant linguistic situation in which each provided linguistic term has a probability.

Information Entropy as a Reliable Measure of Nanoparticle Dispersity [PDF]
Nanoparticle size impacts properties vital to applications ranging from drug delivery to diagnostics and catalysis. As such, evaluating nanoparticle size dispersity is of fundamental importance. Conventional approaches, such as standard deviation, usually require the nanoparticle population to follow a known distribution and are illequipped to deal ...

Tsallis Mutual Information for Document Classification
Mutual information is one of the mostly used measures for evaluating image similarity. In this paper, we investigate the application of three different Tsallis-based generalizations of mutual information to analyze the similarity between scanned ...

Alternative Entropy Measures and Generalized Khinchin–Shannon Inequalities
The Khinchin–Shannon generalized inequalities for entropy measures in Information Theory, are a paradigm which can be used to test the Synergy of the distributions of probabilities of occurrence in physical systems.

An entropy-based measure of founder informativeness
Optimizing quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping experiments requires a generalized measure of marker informativeness because variable information is obtained from different marker systems, marker distribution and pedigree types. Such a measure can be derived from the concept of Shannon entropy, a central concept in information theory.

On using Shannon entropy measure for formulating new weighted exponential distribution
In this article, a new class of weighted exponential distribution called Entropy-Based Exponential weighted distribution (EBEWD) is proposed. The main idea of the new lifetime distribution is in using the Shannon entropy measure as a weighted function ...
