摘要
Distribution spread as a separation width is formalised using partition entropy, resulting in a metric for dispersion with associated end points. The binary framework resolves interpretive and other limitations of the traditional differential entropy metric, and is robust to distributional shape.(C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
