Asymptotic bias of the plug-in Shannon entropy estimator under a regularly varying occupancy model
Takato Hashino, Koji Tsukuda
Estimating the Shannon entropy of discrete distributions with countably infinite support is a challenging problem. In this paper, we investigate the bias of the plug-in estimator $…

Estimating the Shannon Entropy Using the Pitman--Yor Process
Takato Hashino, Koji Tsukuda
The Shannon entropy is a fundamental measure for quantifying diversity and model complexity in fields such as information theory, ecology, and genetics. However, many existing stud…
