- information entropyA measure of the uncertainty associated with a random variable; a measure of the average information content one is missing when one does not know the value of the random variable (usually in units such as bits); the amount of information …

- min-entropyThe smallest of the Rényi family of entropies, corresponding to the most conservative way of measuring the unpredictability of a set of outcomes, as the negative logarithm of the probability of the most likely outcome.
