Conditional entropy: Art, Properties & Motivation

In information theory, the conditional entropy quantifies the amount of information needed to describe the outcome of a random variable Y {\displaystyle Y} given that the value of another random variable X {\displaystyle X} is known. Here, information is measured in shannons, nats, or hartleys. The "entropy of Y {\displaystyle Y} conditioned on X…
