minepy - Maximal Information-based Nonparametric Exploration

https://travis-ci.org/minepy/minepy.png?branch=master Documentation Status

minepy provides an ANSI C library for the Maximal Information-based Nonparametric Exploration (MIC and MINE family). Key features:

  • APPROX-MIC (the original algorithm, DOI: 10.1126/science.1205438) and MIC_e (DOI: arXiv:1505.02213 and DOI: arXiv:1505.02214) estimators;
  • Total Information Coefficient (TIC, DOI: arXiv:1505.02213) and the Generalized Mean Information Coefficient (GMIC, DOI: arXiv:1308.5712);
  • a C++ interface;
  • an efficient Python API;
  • an efficient MATLAB/OCTAVE API;
  • a command-line application similar to the original MINE.jar;
  • the minerva R interface is available at CRAN.

minepy is an open-source, GPLv3-licensed software.
