 202/-! ## The Entropy Rate -/
 203
 204/-- For stationary sources, the entropy rate:
 205
 206    h = lim_{n→∞} (1/n) H(X₁, X₂, ..., Xₙ)
 207
 208    This accounts for correlations between symbols.

 210    Example: English text
 211    - Single letter entropy: ~4.2 bits/letter
 212    - Entropy rate: ~1.0-1.5 bits/letter (due to correlations) -/
