Hello,

What is the unit of Leibovici or Altieri Entropy in your example?
Does either Leibovici or Altieri Entropy involve normalization in their calculation?

Thank you so much

There is no unit like meters or seconds in entropy, if you look at the equation it's actually probability.

Neither involves normalization.

Thank you for your response. If it is probability then how would I interpret a value that is greater than 1.0?

I mean it’s based on probability hence no unit, but the value itself is not probability. Spatial entropy is also based on Shannon entropy, except that the events are spatial co-occurrences.
