Abstract

Entropy measures are fundamental measures for quantifying the uncertainty of random variables. In this study, we examine the maximum likelihood estimators (MLE) of five well-known entropy measures: Shannon, Rényi, Havrda- Charvát, Arimoto, and Tsallis, under both Simple Random Sampling (SRS) and Ranked Set Sampling (RSS). We derived the asymptotic bias and variance for these entropy estimators and conducted extensive simulations to assess the performance of SRS and RSS in estimating these entropy measures. The effectiveness of our estimators was demonstrated using breast cancer data.
