Abstract
The article presents the use of Shannon entropy statistics and algorithm developed by Semple and Gauthier in the study of changes in the Polish regional differences. The assessment of the cognitive value of this method due to the possibility of analyzing the relationship between inter- and intraregional inequalities is shown.References
