Mathematical analysis demonstrates Shannon entropy monotonicity in circular distributions, indicating analytical advantages over the von Mises distribution.
We derive and study an expression for the Shannon entropy of the cardioid distribution. Its monotonicity is illustrated, and the results are discussed in terms of its convenience compared to its counterpart based on the often-considered von Mises distribution.
