Finally, using the 95th quantile (or whatever) is a purely subjective choice on the part of the authors of this paper. As with the statistical significance of p-values at the 0.05 level, it is, at best, a rule of thumb or convention with no theoretical motivation. | |
| Jan 16, 2017 at 14:27 | comment | added | user78229 | The question seems clear enough. The first thing to note is that the authors are coming at their analysis from an information theoretic perspective. This field has developed since the original Shannon-Weaver papers and framework in the post-WWII era and, while it has overlap with statistics, is really a separate discipline. Next, entropy is an I-T measure of global uncertainty and, as such, is a different metric from one that would support their claim of "unique" identification of a mobile handset. Clearly given your confusion, it's not all that helpful. | |
