Abstract

"The chapter begins with the short description about the concept of entropy, formula, and matlab code. Within the main chapter body, three different approaches how to use the information entropy in dataset analysis: (i) for data segmentation into two groups; (ii) for filtration of the noise in the dataset; (iii) for enhancement of the entropy contribution via point information gain. Finally, the conclusion is briefly about extended analysis using more generalized entropy, and the usability of described algorithms: advantages and disadvantages."
