Empirical Estimation of Information Measures: A Literature Guide

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
We give a brief survey of the literature on the empirical estimation of entropy, differential entropy, relative entropy, mutual information and related information measures.

Generalizing Information to the Evolution of Rational Belief

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Information theory provides a mathematical foundation to measure uncertainty in belief. Belief is represented by a probability distribution that captures our understanding of an outcome’s plausibility.

Smooth Renyi Entropies and the Quantum Information Spectrum

open access: yes, 2008
Many of the traditional results in information theory, such as the channel coding theorem or the source coding theorem, are restricted to scenarios where the underlying resources are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) over a large number of

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

A Characterization of Entropy in Terms of Information Loss

open access: yesEntropy, 2011
There are numerous characterizations of Shannon entropy and Tsallis entropy as measures of information obeying certain properties. Using work by Faddeev and Furuichi, we derive a very simple characterization.

Shannon entropy and complexity measures for Bohr Hamiltonian with triaxial nuclei

open access: yesResults in Physics, 2022
The Shannon entropy, disequilibrium, and complexity measures for n=0,1 in position and momentum space are investigated within the framework of Bohr Hamiltonian for triaxial nuclei with Davidson potential. The effect of the angular momentum quantum number

On Convergence Properties of Shannon Entropy

open access: yes, 2007
Convergence properties of Shannon Entropy are studied. In the differential setting, it is shown that weak convergence of probability measures, or convergence in distribution, is not enough for convergence of the associated differential entropies.

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...

Wehrl information entropy and phase distributions of Schrodinger cat and cat-like states [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The Wehrl information entropy and its phase density, the so-called Wehrl phase distribution, are applied to describe Schr\"odinger cat and cat-like (kitten) states. The advantages of the Wehrl phase distribution over the Wehrl entropy in a description of

Assessing Cognitive Functioning in Children With Brain Tumors: Interaction of Neighborhood Social Determinants of Health and Neurological Risk

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background This study investigated how neighborhood‐level social determinants of health (SDOH), including redlining and neurological risk, interact to influence cognitive outcomes in children treated for brain tumors (CTBT). Methods A retrospective chart review of 161 CTBT aged 5–17 was conducted.
