Loop of mutual information in R-CodePudding

I have a table with zero and ones in R like this

m <- 10
n <- 5
dat <- round(matrix(runif(m * n), m, n))

resulting in:

      [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5]
 [1,]    0    1    1    1    0
 [2,]    1    0    1    1    0
 [3,]    0    1    1    1    0
 [4,]    1    1    1    1    0
 [5,]    1    0    1    0    0
 [6,]    0    1    1    0    0
 [7,]    1    0    1    1    0
 [8,]    1    0    1    0    0
 [9,]    1    0    0    0    0
[10,]    0    1    0    0    1

If i want to find the conditional mutual information with the condinformation function of infotheo package in R between the first two columns with all other as conditionals, i will do this

library(infotheo)
condinformation(dat[,1], dat[,2], S=dat[,c(-1,-2)], method="emp")

How can i create a 5x5 matrix containing all the conditional mutual informations? Meaning to use a formula like that condinformation(dat[,a], dat[,b], S=dat[,c(-a,-b)], method="emp") in a loop?

CodePudding user response：

a = combn(seq(ncol(dat)), 2, function(x)condinformation(dat[, x[1]], dat[,x[2]], S=dat[,-x], method = 'emp'))
structure(a, Size = ncol(dat), class = 'dist')
