Description Usage Arguments Value References Examples
This function estimates the mutual information for permutations of pairs of columns of a matrix using a B spline approach on a GPU device. Please note, the data must be values from the interval [0.0, 1.0].

x |
a matrix of floating point numbers from the interval [0.0, 1.0]. Each column represents a list of samples of a random variable. The mutual information between each column of x and each column of y will be computed. If y is NULL then each pair of columns of x will be compared. |
y |
a matrix of floating point numbers from the interval [0.0, 1.0]. Each column represents a list of samples of a random variable. The mutual information between each column of x and each column of y will be computed. If y is NULL then each pair of columns of x will be compared. |
bins |
a single integer value representing the number of equal intervals that [0.0, 1.0] will be divided into in order to determine the bins in which to place each value of the columns of x and y. In the case of splineOrder = 1, this determines the histogram for traditional mutual information. For splineOrder > 1, a single value may be placed in multiple adjoining bins with varying weights on membership. |
splineOrder |
a single integer value giving the degree of the spline polynomials used to define both the number of bins a single value will be placed in and the weight of membership given to the value. |
a matrix of single precision floating point values of order ncol(y) by ncol(x). Entry $(i, j)$ of this matrix represents the mutual information calculation for $(y_i, x_j)$.
