The base of the logarithm determines the unit used. Commonly used units are: shannon (symbol: Sh) for logarithms of base 2; natural unit (symbol: nat) for logarithms of base e; and hartley (symbol: Hart) for logarithms of base 10. Conversion table: 1 Sh = 0,693 nat = 0,301 Hart; 1 nat = 1,433 Sh = 0,434 Hart; 1 Hart = 3,322 Sh = 2,303 nat 1, record 1, English, - decision%20content

The number of b-fold decisions needed to select a specific event out of a finite set of mutually exclusive events equals the smallest integer which is greater than or equal to the decision content defined with the logarithm of base b. This is applicable when b is an integer. 1, record 1, English, - decision%20content

La base du logarithme détermine l'unité employée. Les unités habituellement utilisées sont les suivantes : shannon (symbole : Sh) pour les logarithmes de base deux; unité naturelle (symbole : nat) pour les logarithmes de base e; et hartley (symbole : Hart) pour les logarithmes de base 10. Table de conversion : 1 Sh = 0,693 nat = 0,301 Hart; 1 nat = 1,433 Sh = 0,434 Hart; 1 Hart = 3,322 Sh = 2,303 nat 1, record 1, French, - quantit%C3%A9%20de%20d%C3%A9cision
