block_entropy: Block Entropy

In rinform: An R Wrapper of the 'Inform' C Library for Information Analysis of Complex Systems

Description

Compute the average or local block entropy of a time series with block size k.

Usage

block_entropy(series, k, local = FALSE)

Arguments

series	Vector or matrix specifying one or more time series.
k	Integer giving the history length.
local	Boolean specifying whether to compute the local block entropy.

Value

Numeric giving the average block entropy or a vector giving the local block entropy.

Examples

# The typical usage is to provide the time series and the history length. 
xs <- c(0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
block_entropy(xs, k = 1) # 0.9910761
# [ 0.8479969, 0.8479969, 1.169925, 1.169925,  1.169925, 1.169925, 0.8479969,
#   0.8479969, 0.8479969]
block_entropy(xs, k = 1, local = TRUE)
block_entropy(xs, k = 2) # 1.811278
# [ 1.415037, 3.0, 1.415037, 1.415037, 1.415037, 3.0, 1.415037, 1.415037]
block_entropy(xs, k = 2, local = TRUE)

# Multiple Initial Conditions
xs      <- matrix(0, nrow = 9, ncol = 2)
xs[, 1] <- c(0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0)
xs[, 2] <- c(1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0)
block_entropy(xs, k = 2) # 1.936278
# [, 1] 1.415037, 2.415037, 2.415037, 2.415037, 2.415037, 2.0, 1.415037, 1.415037
# [, 2] 2.0 , 1.415037, 2.415037, 2.0, 1.415037, 2.415037, 2.0, 1.415037
