This function estimates the information content of a character char
when e extra steps
are present, for all possible values of e.

char |
The character in question. |
ambiguousToken |
Which token, if any, corresponds to the ambigious token (?) (not yet fully implemented). |
expectedMinima |
sample enough trees that the rarest step counts is expected to be seen at least this many times. |
maxIter |
Maximum iterations to conduct. |
warn |
Boolean ( |
Calculates the number of trees consistent with the character having e extra steps, where
e ranges from its minimum possible value (i.e. number of different tokens minus one) to its
maximum. The number of trees with no extra steps can be calculated exactly; the number of trees
with more additional steps must be approximated.
The function samples n.iter
trees, or enough trees that the trees with the minimum number
of steps will be recovered at least expected.minima
times, in order to obtain precise
results.
