In conMItion: Conditional Mutual Information Estimation for Multi-Omics Data

Calculate Mutual Information Between Two Vectors

Description

Computes the mutual information (MI) between two numeric vectors using the specified number of bins and spline order.

Usage

getMI(x_1, x_2, bin = NULL, sp_order = NULL)

Arguments

x_1	A numeric vector representing the first variable.
x_2	A numeric vector representing the second variable. Must be the same length as 'x_1'.
bin	An integer specifying the number of bins. Default is NULL.
sp_order	An integer specifying the spline order. Must be less than 'bin'. Default is NULL.

Value

A numeric value representing the mutual information (MI).

Examples

x_1 <- rnorm(100)
x_2 <- rnorm(100)
getMI(x_1, x_2)
