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. authors: - family-names: Strimmer given-names: Korbinian email: strimmerlab@gmail.com - family-names: Hausser given-names: Jean repository: https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=entropy url: https://strimmerlab.github.io/software/entropy/ date-released: '2021-10-02' contact: - family-names: Strimmer given-names: Korbinian email: strimmerlab@gmail.com
