Application of Positional Entropy to Fast Shannon Entropy Estimation for Samples of Digital Signals

This paper introduces a new method of estimating Shannon entropy. The proposed method can be successfully used for large data samples and enables fast computations to rank the data samples according to their Shannon entropy. Original definitions of positional entropy and integer entropy are discusse...
