Study Notes
Information Content Units
- Information content is dimensionless, but a pseudo-unit, called "nats," is used.
- If ( \sicof{\rho} = -\log_2 \rho ) is used, the unit for information content is "bits."
- The conversion between nats and bits is (1 \text{ bit} = \ln 2 \text{ nat} \approx 0.6931 \text{ nat}).
