How does the Entropy Calc Stats Calculator work?

H(X) = -Σ p(x) × log(p(x)) for all outcomes Then: Units: bits (log base 2), nats (ln), or dits (log base 10) Then: H = 0: no uncertainty (deterministic) Then: H = maximum when uniform distribution.

Can you give an example of how to use the Entropy Calc Stats Calculator?

Example: Input P(x1)=0.5, P(x2)=0.5 gives a result of H=1 bit.

Is the Entropy Calc Stats Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.

How accurate is the Entropy Calc Stats Calculator?
