Abstract
This is a brief introduction on how to run the Python command-line programs (hosted on GitHub at https://github.com/usnistgov/SP800-90B_EntropyAssessment) that implement the statistical entropy estimation methods found in Section 6 of the Second Draft NIST SP 800-90B (January 2016). It is not a description or explanation of the methods themselves. Please refer to the draft SP for definitions and descriptions of the methods and their rationales.Citation
