Usefulness and applications of entropy measurement / Muhamad Arif Hashim and Roshidi Din
Basically, entropy is a measure of uncertainty, a mathematical equation in defining the between certainty and uncertainty. Although the term has been around the world for a long time, there still lack in literature for better understanding of its usefulness and applications. In this paper, we mainly...
