Entropy and Extropy Measures for Probability Distributions

v0.4.0 · Mar 16, 2026 · MIT + file LICENSE

Description

Provides functions to compute Shannon entropy, Renyi entropy, Tsallis entropy, and related extropy measures for discrete probability distributions. Includes joint and conditional entropy, KL divergence, Jensen-Shannon divergence, cross-entropy, normalized entropy, and Renyi extropy (including the conditional and maximum forms). All measures use the natural logarithm (nats). Useful for information theory, statistics, and machine learning applications.
