Source Entropy of BinarySource()

[nadh-amar]

Hi,
May I know what is the source entropy for BinarySource() function ? I mean if there is any probability of producing one of the bits or something of that sort..?
Or how I can calculate it ?
I am new to this whole area, please do help.
Thanks!

Hi,
the BinarySource generates a random bit sequence with p(b=0)=p(b=1)=0.5.
This leads to a binary entropy H_b(p)=1.

Hint: if you need different values for p, you can use the BinaryMemorylessChannel and feed an all_zero input.

Awesome. I was assuming the same value. Thank you for the help and suggestion.
