function

`scipy.stats._multivariate:multinomial_gen.entropy`

source: /scipy/stats/_multivariate.py :4158

Signature

def entropy ( self , n , p )

Summary

Compute the entropy of the multinomial distribution.

Extended Summary

The entropy is computed using this expression:

f (x) = - lo g n! - n i = 1 \sum k p_{i} lo g p_{i} + i = 1 \sum k x = 0 \sum n (x n) p_{i}^{x} (1 - p_{i})^{n - x} lo g x!

Parameters

%(_doc_default_callparams)s

Returns

h : scalar: Entropy of the Multinomial distribution

Notes
