Naïve implementation?

I wonder if there is a way to make a smarter way of calculating the entropy. Repetitive patterns should reduce the entropy, for instance. Basically, the entropy should be the number of bits returned by the best possible ever compression program, right?--Grondilu 21:11, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
