⚠️There's a newer version (1.3.1) of this package. Take me there.

entropy (version 1.2.0)

Estimation of Entropy, Mutual Information and Related Quantities

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.
