==================================================== ndd - Bayesian entropy estimation from discrete data
.. image:: https://badge.fury.io/py/ndd.svg :target: https://badge.fury.io/py/ndd .. image:: https://travis-ci.com/simomarsili/ndd.svg?branch=master :target: https://travis-ci.com/simomarsili/ndd
ndd
is a Python package for Bayesian entropy estimation from discrete
data. ndd
provides the ndd.entropy
function, a Bayesian replacement
for the scipy.stats.entropy
function from the SciPy library,
based on an efficient implementation of the
Nemenman-Schafee-Bialek (NSB) algorithm <https://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0108025>
_.
Remarkably, the NSB algorithm allows entropy estimation when the number of
samples is much smaller than the number of classes with non-zero probability.
Basic usage
The entropy
function takes as input a vector of frequency counts
(the observed frequencies for a set of classes or states) and an alphabet size
(the number of classes with non-zero probability, including unobserved classes)
and returns an entropy estimate (in nats)::
import ndd counts = [4, 12, 4, 5, 3, 1, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 11, 3, 4, 12, 12, 1, 2] ndd.entropy(counts, k=100) 2.8060922529931225
The uncertainty in the entropy estimate can be quantified using the
posterior standard deviation (see Eq. 13 in Archer 2013 <https://pillowlab.princeton.edu/pubs/Archer13_MIestim_Entropy.pdf>
_) ::
ndd.entropy(counts, k=100, return_std=True) (2.8060922529931225, 0.11945501149743358)
If the alphabet size is unknown or countably infinite, the k
argument can
be omitted and the entropy
function will either use an upper bound estimate
for k
, or switch to the asymptotic NSB estimator for strongly undersampled
distributions (Equations 29, 30 in
Nemenman 2011 <https://nemenmanlab.org/~ilya/images/c/c1/Nemenman_2011b.pdf>
_) ::
import ndd counts = [4, 12, 4, 5, 3, 1, 5, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 11, 3, 4, 12, 12, 1, 2] ndd.entropy(counts) # k is omitted 2.8130746489179046
Where to get it
conda
The easiest way to install ndd
is via the conda
package manager.
Packages are provided on the conda-forge
Anaconda Cloud channel for Linux,
OS X, and Win platforms.
Install the latest stable release using conda
with::
conda install --channel conda-forge ndd
pip
Install using pip with::
pip3 install -U ndd
or directly from sources in github for the latest version of the code::
pip3 install git+https://github.com/simomarsili/ndd.git
In order to build ndd
with pip
, you will need numpy
(>= 1.13) and a
Fortran compiler installed on your machine.
If you are using Debian or a Debian derivative such as Ubuntu,
you can install the gfortran compiler using the following command::
sudo apt-get install gfortran
On Windows, you can use the gfortran compiler from the
MinGW-w64 <https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files>
_ project
(direct link <https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/latest/download>
_
to the installer).
Changes
v1.10.5
Added ndd
to the anaconda conda-forge
channel.
v1.10
Changed:
the signature of the entropy
function is:::
entropy(nk, k=None, estimator=None, return_std=False)
v1.9 Changed:
if argument k
is omitted, the entropy
function will guess a
reasonable alphabet size and select the best estimator for the sampling
regime.
v.1.8.3 Fixed:
integration for huge cardinalities
v1.8 Added:
full Bayesian error estimate (from direct computation of the posterior variance of the entropy)
v1.7 Changed:
estimation is much faster (removed unnecessary checks on input counts)
entropy()
function needs cardinality k
for the default (NSB)
estimator
v1.6.1 Changed: Fixed numerical integration for large alphabet sizes.
v1.6 Changed:
The signature of the entropy
function has been changed to allow
arbitrary entropy estimators. The new signature is::
entropy(pk, k=None, estimator='NSB', return_std=False)
The available estimators are::
>>> import ndd
>>> ndd.entropy_estimators
['Plugin', 'MillerMadow', 'NSB', 'AsymptoticNSB', 'Grassberger']
Check the function docstring for details.
Added:
- MillerMadow estimator class
- AsymptoticNSB estimator class
- Grassberger estimator class
v1.5 For methods/functions working on data matrices: the default input is a n-by-p 2D array (n samples from p discrete variables, with different samples on different rows). Since release 1.3, the default was a transposed (p-by-n) data matrix. The behavior of functions taking frequency counts as input (e.g. the entropy function) is unchanged. v1.4 Added the kullback_leibler_divergence function. v1.1 Added:
* *from_data*
* *mutual_information*
* *conditional_information*
* *interaction_information*
* *coinformation*
v1.0
Drop support for Python < 3.4.
v0.9
Added the jensen_shannnon_divergence
function.
