Shannon entropy estimation for linear processes

Abstract

In this paper, we estimate the Shannon entropy S(f)=\E[log(f(x))]S(f) = -\E[ \log (f(x))] of a one-sided linear process with probability density function f(x)f(x). We employ the integral estimator Sn(f)S_n(f), which utilizes the standard kernel density estimator fn(x)f_n(x) of f(x)f(x). We show that Sn(f)S_n (f) converges to S(f)S(f) almost surely and in \L2\L^2 under reasonable conditions.
