About 160 years ago, the concept of entropy was introduced in thermodynamics by Rudolf Clausius. Since then, it has been continually extended, interpreted, and applied researchers many scientific fields, such as general physics information theory, chaos data mining, mathematical linguistics. Based on original entropy, variants have proposed. This paper presents a universe entropies, which aims to review entropies that had time series. The purpose is answer important open research questions as: How did each emerge? What definition variant entropy? are related other? most fields for Answering these questions, we describe in-depth relationship between series different establishing bases properly choose suitable their data. number citations over past fifteen proposing new accessed.
