miData | R Documentation |
This function empirically estimates the Mutual Information from a table of counts using the observed frequencies.
miData(freqs.table, method = c("mi.raw", "mi.raw.pc"))
freqs.table |
a table of counts. |
method |
a character determining if the Mutual Information should be normalized. |
The mutual information estimation is computed from the observed frequencies through a plugin estimator based on entropy.
The plugin estimator is
I(X, Y) = H (X) + H(Y) - H(X, Y)
, where
H()
is the entropy computed with entropyData
.
