The article reviews, under a unified framework, the main approaches to spatial entropy measures. It also illustrates the recent proposal of a set of entropy measures for spatial data, which allows to split the data heterogeneity, usually assessed via Shannon's entropy, into two components: spatial mutual information, identifying the role of space, and spatial residual entropy, measuring heterogeneity due to other sources. Some practical aspects are also covered by presenting the available software for the computation of the considered measures.

Abstract

The article reviews, under a unified framework, the main approaches to spatial entropy measures. It also illustrates the recent proposal of a set of entropy measures for spatial data, which allows to split the data heterogeneity, usually assessed via Shannon's entropy, into two components: spatial mutual information, identifying the role of space, and spatial residual entropy, measuring heterogeneity due to other sources. Some practical aspects are also covered by presenting the available software for the computation of the considered measures.
