Information entropy takes the mathematical concepts of statistical thermodynamics into areas of probability theory unconnected with heat and energy.

In particular, information sciences developed the concept of information entropy which lacks the Boltzmann constant inherent in thermodynamic entropy.
24.
The technique measures information quantity in terms of information entropy and usability in terms of the Small Worlds data transformation measure.
25.
Shannon developed information entropy as a measure for the uncertainty in a message while essentially inventing the field of information theory.
26.
Ultimately, the criticism of the link between thermodynamic entropy and information entropy is a matter of terminology, rather than substance.
27.
While some say that the equation is merely a unit conversion equation between thermodynamic and information entropy, this is not completely correct.
28.
The residual frame normally has less information entropy, due to nearby video frames having similarities, and therefore requires fewer bits to compress.

Given testable information, the maximum entropy procedure consists of seeking the probability distribution which maximizes information entropy, subject to the constraints of the information.
