We define an entropy based on a chosen governing probability distribution. If a certain kind of measurements follow such a distribution it also gives us a suitable scale to study it with. This scale will appear as a link function that is…

Both the Kullback-Leibler and the Tsallis divergence have a strong limitation: if the value $0$ appears in probability distributions $\left( p_{1},\cdots ,p_{n}\right)$ and $\left( q_{1},\cdots ,q_{n}\right)$, it must appear in the same…

The extropy measure, first proposed by Lad, Sanfilippo, and Agro in their (2015) paper in Statistical Science, has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Our study introduces a fresh approach to representing weighted extropy in…

Estimating entropies from limited data series is known to be a non-trivial task. Naive estimations are plagued with both systematic (bias) and statistical errors. Here, we present a new 'balanced estimator' for entropy functionals Shannon,…

The Tsallis entropy is shown to be an additive entropy of degree-q that information scientists have been using for almost forty years. Neither is it a unique solution to the nonadditive functional equation from which random entropies are…

Many complex systems are characterized by non-Boltzmann distribution functions of their statistical variables. If one wants to -- justified or not -- hold on to the maximum entropy principle for complex statistical systems (non-Boltzmann)…

The notion of entropy penetrates much of science. A key feature of the all-important notion of Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy is its extensivity (additivity over independent subsystems). However, there is a need for other quantities. In…

The paper suggests the concepts of an upper entropy and a lower entropy. We propose a new axiomatic definition, namely, upper entropy axioms, inspired by axioms of metric spaces, and also formulate lower entropy axioms. We also develop weak…

The Tsallis entropy, which is a generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, plays a central role in nonextensive statistical mechanics of complex systems. A lot of efforts have recently been made on establishing a dynamical foundation…

The pathway model of Mathai (2005) is shown to be inferable from the maximization of a certain generalized entropy measure. This entropy is a variant of the generalized entropy of order 'alpha', considered in Mathai and Rathie (1975), and…

Extropy, a complementary dual of entropy, (proposed by Lad et al. \cite{lad2015extropy} in 2015) has attracted considerable interest from the research community. In this study, we focus on discrete random variables and define conditional…

Some preliminary evidence suggests the conjecture that the collective behaviour of systems having long-range interactions may be described more effectively by the Tsallis rather than by the Boltzmann/Gibbs/Shannon entropy. To this end, we…

Though Shannon entropy of a probability measure $P$, defined as $- \int_{X} \frac{\ud P}{\ud \mu} \ln \frac{\ud P}{\ud\mu} \ud \mu$ on a measure space $(X, \mathfrak{M},\mu)$, does not qualify itself as an information measure (it is not a…
