Re: [R] calculation of entropy in R???

building block for anything more complex. My approach for getting H(X|Y), etc. is to get a contingency table, then calculate conditional entropy and mutual information from the table. You might also consult a text such as Cover & Thomas, Elements of Information Theory. Regards, David David R

Re: [R] Method for checking automatically which distribtions fits a data

The function ks.test(x,y, ...) performs a Kolmogorov-Smirnov test on a set of sample values x against a distribution y. Both x and y must be cumulative distributions; y can be either a vector of cumulative values or a predefined distribution such as pnorm(). David Reinke Senior Transportation
