"Arbitrary waveform entropy estimate #3" http://morpheus.spectralhead.com/entropy/estimate3/
Results: -------- - For white noise, gives ~1. - For simple periodic waveforms, gives < ~0.1. - For mixture of two simple nonharmonic periodic waveforms, gives < 0.5. - For increasing length periodic noise, gives increasing estimate. At this point I'm convinced that it is possible to create entropy estimators that work well for arbitrary simple periodic waveforms. For nonharmonic mixtures of periodic waveforms, not as good, but still distinguishes them from noise. -P -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp
