To BEE or not to BEE: Estimating more than Entropy with Biased Entropy Estimators

Entropy estimation plays a significant role in biology, economics, physics, communication engineering and other disciplines. It is increasingly used in software engineering, e.g. in software confidentiality, software testing, predictive analysis, machine learning, and software improvement. However accurate estimation is demonstrably expensive in many contexts, including software. Statisticians have consequently developed …
