Entropy and Kurtosis

I varied the tail-exponent of a Student’s-T distribution, taking it from a near-gaussian distribution to a near-cauchy, fat-tailed distribution and noted the relationship between kurtosis and information entropy. Here’s the plot:

Kurtosis vs. Entropy

The implications are interesting. More on that later.
