vonNeumann: Von Neumann entropy

Description

`vonNeumann()` computes the von Neumann entropy of a kernel matrix. Entropy values close to 0 indicate that all its elements are very similar, which may result in underfitting when training a prediction model. Instead, values close to 1 indicate a high variability which may produce overfitting.

Usage

vonNeumann(K)

Value

Von Neumann entropy (a single value).

Arguments

K

Kernel matrix (class "matrix").
