The aim of this paper is to define the entropy of a finite semi-Markov process. We define the entropy of the finite distributions of the process, and obtain explicitly its entropy rate by extending the Shannon–McMillan–Breiman theorem to this class of nonstationary continuous-time processes. The particular cases of pure jump Markov processes and renewal processes are considered. The relative entropy rate between two semi-Markov processes is also defined.
