Expected Shannon Entropy and Shannon Differentiation between Subpopulations for Neutral Genes under the Finite Island Model.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Shannon entropy H and related measures are increasingly used in molecular ecology and population genetics because (1) unlike measures based on heterozygosity or allele number, these measures weigh alleles in proportion to their population fraction, thus ...

Changes in Body Composition in Children and Young People Undergoing Treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ongoing evidence indicates increased risk of sarcopenic obesity among children and young people (CYP) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), often beginning early in treatment, persisting into survivorship. This review evaluates current literature on body composition in CYP with ALL during and after treatment.

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.

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.

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

Relations Between Conditional Shannon Entropy and Expectation of $\ell_{\alpha}$-Norm

open access: yes, 2016
The paper examines relationships between the conditional Shannon entropy and the expectation of $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm for joint probability distributions.

Entropy, Measures of Distance and Similarity of Q-Neutrosophic Soft Sets and Some Applications

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
The idea of the Q-neutrosophic soft set emerges from the neutrosophic soft set by upgrading the membership functions to a two-dimensional entity which indicate uncertainty, indeterminacy and falsity.

Predicting Chronicity in Children and Adolescents With Newly Diagnosed Immune Thrombocytopenia at the Timepoint of Diagnosis Using Machine Learning‐Based Approaches

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To identify predictors of chronic ITP (cITP) and to develop a model based on several machine learning (ML) methods to estimate the individual risk of chronicity at the timepoint of diagnosis. Methods We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 944 children enrolled in the Intercontinental Cooperative immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) Study ...

Motivic Information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We introduce notions of information/entropy and information loss associated to exponentiable motivic measures. We show that they satisfy appropriate analogs to the Khinchin-type properties that characterize information loss in the context of measures on ...
