Arguments

i

list of numeric indices of the data.frame

pheno

Data.frame with information about the samples

Value

Examples

data(survey, package = "MASS")
index <- design(survey[, c("Sex", "Smoke", "Age")], size_subset = 50,
                iterations = 10)
# Note that numeric columns will be omitted:
evaluate_entropy(index, survey[, c("Sex", "Smoke", "Age")])
