Hartley

Hartley may refer to:

Hartley (unit)

The hartley (symbol Hart), earlier called a ban, or a dit (short for decimal digit), is a logarithmic unit which measures information or entropy, based on base 10 logarithms and powers of 10, rather than the powers of 2 and base 2 logarithms which define the bit, or shannon. One hartley is the information content of an event if the probability of that event occurring is 1/10. It is therefore equal to the information contained in one decimal digit (or dit), assuming a priori equiprobability of each possible value.

As a bit corresponds to a binary digit, so a ban is a decimal digit. A deciban is one tenth of a ban; the name is formed from ban by the SI prefix deci-.

One Hart corresponds to log(10) bit = ln(10) nat, or approximately 3.322 Sh, or 2.303 nat. A deciban is about 0.332 Sh.

Though not an SI unit, the hartley is part of the International System of Quantities, defined by International Standard IEC 80000-13 of the International Electrotechnical Commission. It is named after Ralph Hartley. It supersedes the ban, an earlier name for the same unit.
