information_content_contin

Calculates information content of a continuous (numeric) vector in bits
(default) or natural units. Missing values are omitted from the calculation.

A tool for the preparation and enrichment of health datasets for analysis (Toner et al. (2023) <doi:10.1093/gigascience/giad030>). Provides functionality for assessing data quality and for improving the reliability and machine interpretability of a dataset.
'eHDPrep' also enables semantic enrichment of a dataset where metavariables are discovered from the relationships between input variables determined from user-provided ontologies.
