Is this article needed? Information entropy certainly includes Binary entropy. Jaraalbe 20:31, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing in information entropy about this function in particular but its graph. It is an important special case of information entropy. WikiC 18:15, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, what is the difference (definition/statistical/philosophical/?) between the Binary Entropy Function and the entropy listed at Bernoulli distribution. This uses Log2, the other uses Natural Logarithm. When are the different definitions used? Rick21784 (talk) 19:28, 7 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Conceptual mistakes[edit]

The article states: To put it intuitively, suppose p=0. At this probability, the event is certain never to occur. This cannot be more wrong. An event of probability 0 can occur^[1]. --Agcala (talk) 02:20, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Binary entropy function. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20160217105359/http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mackay/itila/book.html to http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/mackay/itila/book.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.
