Analyzing data type produced, stored, and aggregated in Big Data environments is a challenge in understanding data quality and represents a crucial support for decisionmaking. Big Data application modeling requires meta-data modeling, interaction modeling, and execution modeling. Entropy, relative entropy, and mutual information play important roles in information theory. Our purpose within this paper is to present a new upper bound for the classical Shannon's entropy. The new bound is derived from a refinement of a recent result from the literature, the inequality of S. S. Dragomir (2010). The reasoning is based on splitting the considered interval into the mentioned inequality. The upper bound can be considered in understanding the potential information that each data type may have in a Big Data environment.Then summating all m C 1 previous inequalities, we obtain D.f; p; xI J; J 1 ; J 2 ; : : : ; J m / 6 m X i D1
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
