In this paper we propose an estimator of the entropy of a

continuous random variable. The estimator is obtained by modifying

the estimator proposed by Vasicek (1976). Consistency of estimator is

proved, ...

Ranked set sampling (RSS) is known to be superior to the tradi

tional simple random sampling

(SRS) in the sense that it often leads to more efficient infere

nce procedures. Basic version of RSS

has ...

In this paper, we first introduce two new estimators for estimating the entropy of absolutely continuous random variables. We then compare the introduced estimators with the existing entropy estimators, including the first ...
