Mutual Information
Version 1.2.0.0 (1.33 KB) by
Will Dwinnell
Calculates the mutual information between two discrete variables (or a group and a single variable).
MutualInformation: returns mutual information (in bits) of discrete variables 'X' and 'Y'
I = MutualInformation(X,Y);
I = calculated mutual information (in bits)
X = variable(s) to be analyzed (column vector)
Y = variable to be analyzed (column vector)
Note 1: Multiple variables may be handled jointly as columns in
matrix 'X'.
Note 2: Requires the 'Entropy' and 'JointEntropy' functions.
