/**
|
|
* <p>Interface for multivariate implementations of the mutual information.</p>
|
|
*
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* Intended usage of the child classes:
|
|
* <ol>
|
|
* <li>Construct</li>
|
|
* <li>Set properties using {@link #setProperty(String, String)}</li>
|
|
* <li>{@link #initialise(int, int)} or {@link #initialise(int, int, double)}</li>
|
|
* <li>Provide the observations to the calculator using:
|
|
* {@link #setObservations(double[][], double[][])}, or
|
|
* {@link #setCovariance(double[][])}, or
|
|
* a sequence of:
|
|
* {@link #startAddObservations()},
|
|
* multiple calls to either {@link #addObservations(double[][], double[][])}
|
|
* or {@link #addObservations(double[][], double[][], int, int)}, and then
|
|
* {@link #finaliseAddObservations()}.</li>
|
|
* <li>Compute the required information-theoretic results, primarily:
|
|
* {@link #computeAverageLocalOfObservations()} to return the average
|
|
* value based on the supplied observations; or other calls to compute
|
|
* local values or statistical significance.</li>
