stream-entropy

Measures the shannon entropy of a stream of Javascript literals.

api

.stream()

Generate a writable and readable stream that accepts a stream of literals and emits an end event with the shannon entropy H measure.

example

var ent = entropy.stream();
ent.on('end', function(d) {
    console.log('the shannon measure is ', d);
});

for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) ent.write(i);
ent.end();
