Alternative Dirichlet Priors for Estimating Entropy via a Power Sum Functional

Entropy is a functional of probability and is a measurement of information contained in a system; however, the practical problem of estimating entropy in applied settings remains a challenging and relevant problem. The Dirichlet prior is a popular choice in the Bayesian framework for estimation of e...
