The side chain entropy profile is computed in an averaging window by considering the closest (window-1)/2 neighbors of each residue. For the default of 3 residues, the entropies of the current residue as well as the preceding and following residues are taken into account and averaged. Increasing the averaging window smoothes the entropy profile; lowering it increases resolution but also possible introduces more noise into the profile.
