Description: Implements various estimators of entropy for discrete
        random variables, including the shrinkage estimator by Hausser
        and Strimmer (2009), the maximum likelihood and the
        Millow-Madow estimator, various Bayesian estimators, and the
        Chao-Shen estimator.  It also offers an R interface to the NSB
        estimator.  Furthermore, the package provides functions for
        estimating the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the chi-squared
        divergence, mutual information, and the chi-squared divergence
        of independence.  It also computes the G statistic and the
        chi-squared statistic and corresponding p-values. Furthermore,
        there are functions for discretizing continuous random
        variables.
