Mutual Information Estimators
Description
The rmi package offers a collection of mutual information estimators based on k-Nearest Neighbor and local density estimators. Currently, rmi provides the Kraskov et al. algorithm (KSG) 1 and 2, Local Non-uniformity Corrected (LNC) KSG, and the Local Nearest Neighbor (LNN) estimator. More estimators and examples will be incorporated in the future.
