I also made some small edits to improve the wording of the section on Shannon entropy.undo

It similarly refers to {{math|''M''<sub>''q''−1</sub>}} without defining it. It looks like it is referring to the power mean (also called generalized mean or Hölder mean), in which case one of those names should be used and a link to the Wikipedia article should be provided...undoTags: Mobile editMobile web edit
