Sample-Conditional Mixtures of Entropy Estimators for Short Sequences Under a Uniform Marginal Null

Entropy estimation from short samples recurs in symmetric cryptography, where the reference distribution is uniform by design and no single estimator in the considered classical comparison set minimizes mean squared error (MSE) across the full range of ratios n/k. We introduce the adaptive sample-conditional entropy di...
