Axiomatic Characterizations of Information Measures

Axiomatic Characterizations of Information Measures

Axiomatic characterizations of Shannon entropy, Kullback I-divergence, and some generalized information measures are surveyed. Three directions are treated: (A) Characterization of functions of probability distributions suitable as information measures. (B) Characterization of set functions on the s...
