Bias Adjustment for a Nonparametric Entropy Estimator
Zhang in 2012 introduced a nonparametric estimator of Shannon’s entropy, whose bias decays exponentially fast when the alphabet is finite. We propose a methodology to estimate the bias of this estimator. We then use it to construct a new estimator of entropy. Simulation results suggest that this bia...
