entropyMM: Miller-Madow corrected Entropy Estimate

Description

Computing the Miller-Madow corrected Entropy Estimate of cellCounts.

Usage

entropyMM(cellCounts, unit = unit)

Arguments

cellCounts

an integer vector (or matrix) representing the number of times each particular count is obtained.

unit

the unit in which entropy is measured. One of "bit" (log2, default), "ban" (log10) or "nat" (natural units).

Value

The entropyMM function returns the value of the entropy of that gene H(X) (or pair of genes H(X,Y)).
