In information theory, perplexity is a measure of uncertainty for a discrete probability distribution. The perplexity of a fair coin toss is 2, and that of a fair die roll is 6; and generally, for a probability distribution with exactly N outcomes each having a probability of exactly 1 / N, the perplexity is simply N. But perplexity can also be applied to unfair dice, and to other non-uniform probability distributions. It can be defined as the exponentiation of the distribution's information entropy. Intuitively, the larger the perplexity, the more "surprised" is an observer by a value drawn from the distribution, on average. In ecology, the perplexity is also referred to as the (order-1 true) diversity.
