Entropy of Degree s and its Multivariate Cases


We know that the entropy of degree $ s$ i.e., unified $ (s,s)-$entropy is given by

$\displaystyle {\ensuremath{\boldsymbol{\mathscr{H}}}}^s_s(X)=\left\{\begin{arra...... 1 \\  H(X) = - \sum_{i=1}^n p(x_i)\, log \,p(x_i), & s=1\end{array}\right.$

In the following subsection we shall present the four different ways of writing conditional entropies of degree$ s$.
