Abstract
Entropy estimate of heavy-tailed probability distribution from its Mellin t ransform is considered. Such an estimate is provided uniquely in terms of e xpected values obtained from Mellin transform. Some particular cases are an alytically investigated as a low number of expected values are available. ( C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.
