shannon: Computation of Entropy Measures and Relative Loss

The functions allow for the numerical evaluation of some commonly used entropy measures, such as Shannon entropy, Rényi entropy, Havrda and Charvat entropy, and Arimoto entropy, at selected parametric values from several well-known and widely used probability distributions. Moreover, the functions also compute the relative loss of these entropies using the truncated distributions. Related works include: Awad, A. M., & Alawneh, A. J. (1987). Application of entropy to a life-time model. IMA Journal of Mathematical Control and Information, 4(2), 143-148. <doi:10.1093/imamci/4.2.143>.
