Talk:Binary entropy function

Is this article needed? Information entropy certainly includes Binary entropy. Jaraalbe 20:31, 24 May 2006 (UTC)


 * There is nothing in information entropy about this function in particular but its graph. It is an important special case of information entropy.  WikiC 18:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

So, what is the difference (definition/statistical/philosophical/?) between the Binary Entropy Function and the entropy listed at Bernoulli distribution. This uses Log2, the other uses Natural Logarithm. When are the different definitions used? Rick21784 (talk) 19:28, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Conceptual mistakes
The article states: '''To put it intuitively, suppose p=0. At this probability, the event is certain never to occur'''. This cannot be more wrong. An event of probability 0 can occur. --Agcala (talk) 02:20, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
