Nathan,
Thanks for bringing this up. It looks like the short-term fix is to
make the documentation match the code. Longer term, it seems to me like
this is the sort of thing
This is a side-remark.
Please, don't exaggerate with the term incorrect. Binary, decimal,
natural... logarithms, all this is just a matter of multiplicative
CONSTANT, and sometimes a question of convention.
I am a physicist, and for us the entropy is NOT given in bits. We use

Hello,
I have been using the matplotlib.mlab.entropy function and have noticed that it

I thought I would should it on the mailing list
Nathan,
Thanks for bringing this up. It looks like the short-term fix is to
make the documentation match the code. Longer term, it seems to me like
this is the sort of thing that should be deprecated; it doesn't belong
in matplotlib any more.
Would you open an issue on Github, please? Even
