Maximum Entropy Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Maximum Entropy = log2(Total Symbol)
H[S]max = log2(q)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 2 Variables
Functions Used
log2 - The binary logarithm (or log base 2) is the power to which the number 2 must be raised to obtain the value n., log2(Number)
Variables Used
Maximum Entropy - (Measured in Bit) - The Maximum entropy is defined as states that the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest entropy.
Total Symbol - The Total symbol represents the total discrete symbol emitted from discrete source. Symbols is the basic units of information that can be transmitted or processed.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Total Symbol: 16 --> No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
H[S]max = log2(q) --> log2(16)
Evaluating ... ...
H[S]max = 4
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
4 Bit --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
4 Bit <-- Maximum Entropy

Maximum Entropy = log2(Total Symbol)
H[S]max = log2(q)

What are the properties of entropy?

Entropy function is continuous for every independent variable. It is symmetrical function of its arguments. The partitioning of symbols into sub symbols cannot decrease the property.

When does Entropy attains maximum value?

Entropy attains maximum value when all the source symbols are equiprobable. Best model and allows most uncertainity from data.

How to Calculate Maximum Entropy?

Maximum Entropy calculator uses Maximum Entropy = log2(Total Symbol) to calculate the Maximum Entropy, The Maximum Entropy is defined as states that the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest entropy. Maximum Entropy is denoted by H[S]max symbol.

How to calculate Maximum Entropy using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Entropy, enter Total Symbol (q) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Entropy calculation can be explained with given input values -> 4 = log2(16).

FAQ

What is Maximum Entropy?
The Maximum Entropy is defined as states that the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest entropy and is represented as H[S]max = log2(q) or Maximum Entropy = log2(Total Symbol). The Total symbol represents the total discrete symbol emitted from discrete source. Symbols is the basic units of information that can be transmitted or processed.
How to calculate Maximum Entropy?
The Maximum Entropy is defined as states that the probability distribution which best represents the current state of knowledge about a system is the one with largest entropy is calculated using Maximum Entropy = log2(Total Symbol). To calculate Maximum Entropy, you need Total Symbol (q). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Total Symbol and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
