Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The demand for data analysis is increasing day by day, and this is reflected in a large number of jobs and the high number of published articles. New solutions to the problems seem to be reproducing at a massive rate. A new era is coming! The dazzle is so great that many of us do not bother to check the suitability of the solutions for the problems that they are intended to solve. Current and future challenges require greater care in the creation of new solutions satisfying the rationality of each type of problem. Labels such as big data, data science, machine learning, statistical learning, and artificial intelligence are demanding more sophistication in the fundamentals and in the way that they are being applied.
This Special Issue is dedicated to solutions for and discussions of measuring uncertainties in data analysis problems. For example, considering the large amount of data related to an IoT (internet of things) problem, or even considering the small sample size of a biological study with huge dimensions, one must show how to properly understand the data, how to develop the best process of analysis and, finally, to illustrate how to apply the solutions that were obtained theoretically. We seek to respond to these challenges and publish papers that consider the reasons for a solution and how to apply them. Papers can cover existing methodologies by elucidating questions related to the reasons for their selection and their uses.
We are open to innovative solutions and theoretical works that justify the use of a method and to applied works that describe a good implementation of a theoretical method.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Entropy is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
