Some asymptotic behaviors for the plug-in estimator of entropy

Probability 2024-10-01 v1

Abstract

In the present paper, we consider the plug-in estimator of Shannon's entropy defined on a finite alphabet which is assumed to dynamically vary as the sample size increases. The asymptotic behaviors for the plug-in estimator, such as, asymptotic normality, Berry-Esseen bound and moderate deviation principle, are established.
