Shannon Entropy Estimation in ∞-Alphabets from Convergence Results: Studying Plug-In Estimators
This work addresses the problem of Shannon entropy estimation in countably infinite alphabets studying and adopting some recent convergence results of the entropy functional, which is known to be a discontinuous function in the space of probabilities in ∞-alphabets. Sufficient conditions f...
