S4h Information Entropy

Measures uncertainty, surprise, and information content using Shannon entropy. Use when asked 'how much information does this actually contain', 'how uncertain is this source', 'is this result surprising', 'what should I update on', 'where is the real information in this dataset', or when you need to distinguish high-information from low-information inputs.
