NEUTROSOPHIC ENTROPY MEASURES FOR THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION: THEORY AND APPLICATIONS.

Entropy is a measure of uncertainty and often used in information theory to determine the precise testimonials about unclear situations. Different entropy measures available in the literature are based on the exact form of the observations and lacks in dealing with the interval-valued data. The interval-valued data often arises from the situations having ambiguity, imprecise, unclear, indefinite, or vague states of the experiment and is called neutrosophic data. In this research modified forms of different entropy measures for normal probability distribution have been proposed by considering the neutrosophic form data. The performance of the proposed neutrosophic entropies for normal distribution has been assessed via a simulation study. Moreover, the proposed measures are also applied to two real data sets for their wide applicability. The results of the study suggested the use of the proposed methods in the presence of fuzzy, interval-valued, or neutrosophic data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
