Entropy

Standard

Entropy measures the degree of randomness in a set of data. This process command calculates the entropy of a field using the Shanon entropy formula and displays data in the provided field. A higher entropy number denotes a data set with more randomness, which increases the probability that a system artificially generated the values and could potentially lead to a malicious conclusion. Go to Entropy, to learn how to use this command.
