MI.sd: MI.sd

In EntropyEstimation: Estimation of Entropy and Related Quantities

Description

Returns the estimated asymptotic standard deviation for the Z estimator of mutual information. Note that this is also the asymptotic standard deviation of the plug-in estimator. See Zhang and Zheng (2014) for details.

Usage

MI.sd(y)

Arguments

y	Matrix of counts. Must be integer valued. Each entry represents the number of observations of a distinct combination of letters from the two alphabets.
