Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples
Computes the dependencies (as measures by mutual information) between all positions (columns) of discrete data. Specifically, it returns for each pair of positions (i,j) the mutual information I(X_i,X_j) multiplied by the number N of sequences (rows), which may also be used for testing the statistical significance of mutual information values, as for large N, 2*N*I(X_i,X_j) is approximately chi squared.

the data for computing mutual information. Either a DLData object or a data.frame; In the latter case, the symbols of the alphabet must be provided as a second parameter |
