Package: entropy Version: 1.2.0 Date: 2013-07-16 Title: Estimation of Entropy, Mutual Information and Related Quantities Author: Jean Hausser and Korbinian Strimmer Maintainer: Korbinian Strimmer Depends: R (>= 2.15.1) Suggests: Description: This package implements various estimators of entropy, such as the shrinkage estimator by Hausser and Strimmer, the maximum likelihood and the Millow-Madow estimator, various Bayesian estimators, and the Chao-Shen estimator. It also offers an R interface to the NSB estimator. Furthermore, it provides functions for estimating Kullback-Leibler divergence, chi2-squared, mutual information, and chi2-squared statistic of independence. In addition there are functions for discretizing continuous random variables.
