Detailed Description

Atom information content (mean).

This is the entropy of the element distribution in the molecule (including implicit hydrogen). Let $n_i$ be the number of occurences of atomic number $i$ in the molecule. Let $p_i = {n_i}{ n_i}$. The value of this descriptor is the negative of the sum over all $i$ of $p_i p_i$.
