I'm an electrical engineer and I'm not so familiar with data mining concepts (I studied clustering concepts though). I have a data set that includes the measured electricity consumption of households over a year (So, the time series is too long).

I want to calculate the entropy for each household separately based on its time series to see which ones show more regular patterns.

Could you please introduce me some proper entropy measures for this?

(Note: the time series is long hence, I need a suitable measure for that)

Also, if you could introduce me a reference that explains the difference between regularity, complexity, and variability I would be grateful.
