| Nov 13, 2016 at 4:33 | comment | added | Pedro Lauridsen Ribeiro | That is essentially Wallis's derivation of the principle of maximum entropy, as recalled in (more) physical terms in Section 11.4, pp. 351-354 of Jaynes's book Probability - The Logic of Science and also in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… - a very useful remark you made is that the particular function $\frac{\log_2 W}{N}$ of $W$ is the bit word length per item of the permutation. In both references above, this choice seems arbitrary - any monotone increasing function of $W$ would do. | |
