get_IG_for_vector_pair {FCBF} | R Documentation

## Information Gain This functions runs Information Gain for two features, returning the score

### Description

Information Gain This functions runs Information Gain for two features, returning the score

### Usage

    get_IG_for_vector_pair(x, y, base = 2)

### Arguments

`x` | A vector containing a categorical feature
`y` | A vector containing other categorical feature
`base` | The base used for the logaritmic function. The default is exp(1) (~2.718)

### Value

A numerical value for the Information Gain score

### Examples

      data(scDengue)
      exprs <- SummarizedExperiment::assay(scDengue, 'logcounts')
      discrete_expression <- as.data.frame(discretize_exprs(exprs))
      discrete_expression_gene_1 <- discrete_expression$V1
      discrete_expression_gene_2 <- discrete_expression$V2
      get_IG_for_vector_pair(discrete_expression_gene_1,discrete_expression_gene_2)
