The best method to calculate mutual information for pairs using numpy is to use the mutual_info_score()
function from the sklearn.metrics
module.
Here is an example code:
import numpy as np
from sklearn.metrics import mutual_info_score
# generate sample data
x = np.random.randint(0, 5, 100)
y = np.random.randint(0, 5, 100)
# calculate mutual information between x and y
mi = mutual_info_score(x, y)
print(mi)
In this example, we generate two random arrays x
and y
with 100 elements each. We then pass them to the mutual_info_score()
function, which returns the mutual information score between the two arrays.
