The Shannon entropy is a measure of the randomness of a distribution, and plays a central role in statistics, information theory, and data compression. Knowing the entropy of a random source can shed light on the compressibility of data produced by such a source. We consider the complexity of approximating the entropy under various different assumptions on the way the input is presented.
