Multi-information estimators

Open kahaaga opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Gao et al. define estimators of multi-information (i.e. mutual information for more than two variables) analogous to the KSG and BI-KSG estimators.

We should implement these here. This requires defining a multiinformation API, which probably should just be the mutualinfo function, but with more than two input arguments. A wrapper can be defined if needed.

EDIT: this should be an independent function multiinformation

EDIT 2: https://cs.nju.edu.cn/zhouzh/zhouzh.files/publication/mcs10diversity.pdf is also a good reference

EDIT 3: with v4, this is just a call to association with its own estimator.
