## Description
|
||||
<section id='description'>
|
||||
Calculate the Shannon entropy H of a given input string.
|
||||
Given the discreet random variable $X$ that is a string of $N$ "symbols" (total characters) consisting of $n$ different characters (n=2 for binary), the Shannon entropy of X in bits/symbol is:
|
||||
$H_2(X) = -\sum_{i=1}^n \frac{count_i}{N} \log_2 \left(\frac{count_i}{N}\right)$
|
||||
where $count_i$ is the count of character $n_i$.
