multivar_joint_shannon_entropy {msu} | R Documentation |
Estimation of joint Shannon entropy for a set of categorical variables.
Description
The multivariate joint Shannon entropy provides an estimation of the measure of the uncertainty associated with a set of variables (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_entropy).
Usage
multivar_joint_shannon_entropy(table_variables, table_class)
multivar_joint_H(table_variables, table_class)
Arguments
table_variables |
A list of factors as categorical variables. |
table_class |
A factor representing the class of the case. |
Value
Joint Shannon entropy estimation for the variable set
table.variables
, table.class
.
See Also
shannon_entropy
for the entropy for a
single variable and
joint_shannon_entropy
for the entropy
associated with two random variables.
Examples
multivar_joint_shannon_entropy(list(factor(c(0,1)), factor(c(1,0))),
factor(c(1,1)))
