Formulation F10228 on D4392: Event Shannon bit information
F10228
Formulation 0
Let $P = (\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$ be a D1159: Probability space such that
(i) $E \in \mathcal{F}$ is an D1716: Event in $P$
Let $\log_2$ be the D866: Standard real logarithm function in base $2$ such that
(i) \begin{equation} \log_2 0 : = - \infty \end{equation}
The Shannon bit information of $E$ in $P$ is the D5237: Unsigned basic number \begin{equation} - \log_2 \mathbb{P}(E) \in [0, \infty] \end{equation}
