Entropy Measures for Environmental Data: Description, Sampling and Inference for Data with Dependence Structures

This book shows how to successfully adapt entropy measures to the complexity of environmental data. It also provides a unified framework that covers all main entropy and spatial entropy measures in the literature, with suggestions for their potential use in the analysis of environmental data such as biodiversity, land use and other phenomena occurring over space or time, or both.

First, recent literature reviews about including spatial information in traditional entropy measures are present...
