crossentropy {FNN}

Cross Entropy

Description

KNN Cross Entropy Estimators.

Usage

  crossentropy(X, Y, k=10, algorithm=c("kd_tree", "cover_tree", "brute"))

Arguments

X

an input data matrix.

Y

an input data matrix.

k

the maximum number of nearest neighbors to search. The default value is set to 10.

algorithm

nearest neighbor search algorithm.

Details

If p(x) and q(x) are two continuous probability density functions, then the cross-entropy of p and q is defined as H(p;q) = E_p[-\log q(x)].

Value

a vector of length k for crossentropy estimates using 1:k nearest neighbors, respectively.
