getMI: Mutual information of two numeric vectors

In th86/gislkit: gislkit

Description

Evaluates the mutual information of two aligned numeric vectors

Usage

getMI(x,y)
getMI(x,y, normalize=TRUE, negateMI=FALSE)

Arguments

x	A numeric vector
y	A numeric vector
bin	An integer specifying the bin number
so	An integer specifying spline order
normalize	A logical indicating whether you want a normalized mutual information
negateMI	A logical indicating whether you want a signed mutual information

Details

Evaluates the mututal information using B-spline functions.

Value

The mutual information of x and y
