A Head/Tail Breaks-Based Method for Efficiently Estimating the Absolute Boltzmann Entropy of Numerical Raster Data

Shannon entropy is the most popular method for quantifying information in a system. However, Shannon entropy is considered incapable of quantifying spatial data, such as raster data, hence it has not been applied to such datasets. Recently, a method for calculating the Boltzmann entropy of numerical...
