sh: Spectral entropy

Description

This function computes the entropy of a frequency spectrum.

Usage

sh(spec)

Arguments

spec

a data set resulting of a spectral analysis obtained with spec or meanspec (not in dB).

Value

• A single value varying between 0 and 1 is returned. The value has no unit.

Details

Spectral entropy is calculated according to: $$S=-\frac{\sum _{i=1}^N{y}_{i}lo{g}_2(y_i)}{lo{g}_2(N)}$$ with: y = relative amplitude of the i frequency, and $$\sum _{i=1}^N{y}_i=1$$ and N = number of frequencies.
