Nth Extension Entropy Formula Elements

Variables
Nth Extension Entropy
The nth Extension Entropy is a measure of the amount of uncertainty or randomness in a system. It is a generalization of the Shannon entropy to higher-order probability distributions.
Symbol: H[Sn]
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Nth Source
The nth source is the n sources of entropy present in the channel.
Symbol: n
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Entropy
Entropy is a measure of the uncertainty of a random variable. Specifically, it measures the average amount of information contained in each possible outcome of the random variable.
Symbol: H[S]
Measurement: Data TransferUnit: b/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

How to Evaluate Nth Extension Entropy?

Nth Extension Entropy evaluator uses Nth Extension Entropy = Nth Source*Entropy to evaluate the Nth Extension Entropy, The Nth Extension Entropy formula is defined as an extension of a source is that new source which results when the emitted symbols are considered in groups. In other words the entropy of the nth extension of a source is n times the entropy of the source itself. Nth Extension Entropy is denoted by H[Sn] symbol.

How to evaluate Nth Extension Entropy using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Nth Extension Entropy, enter Nth Source (n) & Entropy (H[S]) and hit the calculate button.
