entropyCS: Chao-Shen Entropy Estimate

In synRNASeqNet: Synthetic RNA-Seq Network Generation and Mutual Information Estimates

Description

Computing the Chao-Shen Entropy Estimate of cellCounts.

Usage

entropyCS(cellCounts, unit = unit)

Arguments

cellCounts	an integer vector (or matrix) representing the number of times each particular count is obtained.
unit	the unit in which entropy is measured. One of "bit" (log2, default), "ban" (log10) or "nat" (natural units).

Value

The entropyCS function returns the value of the entropy of that gene H(X) (or pair of genes H(X,Y)).
