On a Connection between Entropy, Extensive Measurement and Memoryless CharacterizationWe define an entropy based on a chosen governing probability distribution. If a certain kind of measurements follow such a distribution it also gives us a suitable scale to study it with. This scale…Peter Sunehag·Oct 23, 2007SaveLearn
