中文版:Fano 不等式计算器

Fano Inequality Calculator
条件熵 H(X | Y)(比特)
X 的可能取值数 n(不少于 3 的整数)

原理:Fano 不等式 H(Pe) ≤ H(X|Y) + Pe·log2(n−1) 把「估计错误率 Pe」与「观测 Y 后 X 的剩余不确定性」绑定:剩余条件熵越高,任何估计方法的错误率下界越高。整理得 Pe ≥ (H(X|Y) − 1) / log2(n−1)(条件熵超过 1 比特时)。

步骤:① 输入条件熵与取值数 n;② 点击计算;③ 读出 log2(n−1) 与错误率下界。

示例:H(X|Y) = 1.2 比特、n = 8 时 log2(7) = 2.807354922058、下界 = 0.071241437422;n = 16、条件熵 = 2 比特时下界 = 0.25595802481;条件熵 = 0.5 比特时下界为 0(无约束力)。

注意事项:这是下界——实际最优错误率只会更高或相等;公式要求 n 不小于 3;条件熵按比特输入(底 2);下界为负说明条件熵太低、约束不起作用,此时取 0 展示;Fano 不等式是信道编码 converse 证明与多假设检验的核心工具。
