Entropy, Vol. 25, Pages 534: Explicit Expressions for Most Common Entropies (Entropy)

Entropies are useful measures of variation. However, explicit expressions for entropies available in the literature are limited. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive collection of explicit expressions for four of the most common entropies for over sixty continuous univariate distributions. Most of the derived expressions are new. The explicit expressions involve known special functions.
