flowMerge (version 2.20.0)

NENT: Extract the Normalized Entropy

Description

Extracts the normalized entropy from a list of flowMerge objects.

Usage

NENT(x)

Arguments

x

A list of flowMerge objects

Value

Returns a vector of normalized entropy values for the flowMerge objects.

Warning

This function doesn't do enough error checking and will try to extract the entropy from a list of anything.

Details

The normalized entropy is extracted from a flowMerge object by computing $\frac{E}{K*n}$ where $E$ is the entropy, and $K$ and n are the number of clusters and data points, respectively.
