| Abstract: | The value of Shannon entropy for a given set of data depends on the class interval chosen to compute the relative frequency
of each class. For three data sets, expressed in dimensional as well as nondimensional form, the entropy value was computed
for different class-interval sizes. Entropy was found to decrease with increasing class interval as well as with increasing
sampling interval. It is suggested that these intervals should be selected with care. |
