Abstract: In order to overcome the problems of low accuracy, poor accuracy, and high time consumption in traditional entrepreneurial ability evaluation methods, a priority hierarchical entropy based evaluation method for college students' innovation and entrepreneurship ability was proposed. Firstly, construct an evaluation index system. Secondly, calculate the weight of the entrepreneurial ability level indicator. Then, the priority hierarchical entropy method is used to process the data and prioritise the evaluation indicators. Finally, the hierarchical entropy method is used to calculate the posterior probability of entrepreneurial success difficulty, so as to realise the evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship ability. The results show that the accuracy of this method can reach 0.96, the accuracy can reach 98%, and the time consumption is only 13.5 s, indicating that this method can improve the evaluation effect of entrepreneurial ability.

Keywords: priority level entropy; square root method; prioritisation; expert evaluation method; posterior probability.
