scipy.stats.rv_continuous.entropy#
- rv_continuous.entropy(*args, **kwds)[source]#
Differential entropy of the RV.
- Parameters
- arg1, arg2, arg3,…array_like
The shape parameter(s) for the distribution (see docstring of the instance object for more information).
- locarray_like, optional
Location parameter (default=0).
- scalearray_like, optional (continuous distributions only).
Scale parameter (default=1).
Notes
Entropy is defined base e:
>>> drv = rv_discrete(values=((0, 1), (0.5, 0.5))) >>> np.allclose(drv.entropy(), np.log(2.0)) True
