minerva-package: The minerva package

Description

Maximal Information-Based Nonparametric Exploration R Package for Variable Analysis. The package provides the mine function allowing the computation of Maximal Information-based Nonparametric Exploration statistics, firstly introduced in D. Reshef et al. (2011) Detecting novel associations in large datasets. Science 334, 6062 (http://www.exploredata.net). In particular, the package is an R wrapper for the C engine cmine (http://minepy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
