SplitEntropy: Entropy of two splits

Description

Reports various values pertaining to the phylogenetic information content of two splits, treating splits as subdivisions of n terminals into two clusters.

Usage

SplitEntropy(split1, split2 = split1)

Arguments

split1, split2

Logical vectors listing terminals in same order, such that each terminal is identified as a member of the ingroup (TRUE) or outgroup (FALSE) of the respective bipartition split.

Value

A numeric vector listing, in bits,

  • h1 The entropy of split 1

  • h1 The entropy of split 2

  • jointH The joint entropy of both splits

  • i The mutual information of the splits

  • vI The variation of information of the splits (see Meila 2007)
