EntropyHub: Julia

Links to installation files: GitHub || Julia Registry

EntropyHub.jl is the EntropyHub package for Julia. The complete documentation for EntropyHub.jl can be found here

Requirements & Installation:

There are several package dependencies which will be installed alongside EntropyHub (if not already installed):

• DSP, FFTW

• HTTP, DelimitedFiles

• Random

• Plots

• StatsBase, StatsFuns, Statistics

• GroupSlices, Combinatorics, Clustering

• LinearAlgebra, DataInterpolations

EntropyHub was designed using Julia 1.5 and is intended for use with Julia versions >= 1.2.

There are two ways to install EntropyHub for Julia.

Method 1:

1. In Julia, open the package REPL by typing ]. The command line should appear as:

   julia > ]
   
   @vX.Y. pkg >
   

   Where X and Y refer to your version of Julia.

2. Type:

   @vX.Y. pkg > add EntropyHub
   

   (Note: this is case sensitive)

Alternatively, one can use the Pkg module to perform the same procedure:

julia > using Pkg
julia > Pkg.add("EntropyHub")

Method 2:

1. In Julia, open the package REPL by typing ]. The command line should appear as:

   julia > ]
   
   @vX.Y. pkg >
   

   Where X and Y refer to your version of Julia.

2. Type:

   @vX.Y. pkg >  add https://github.com/MattWillFlood/EntropyHub.jl
   

To use EntropyHub after installing, type:

julia > using EntropyHub

To check that EntropyHub has been correctly installed and loaded, type:

julia > EntropyHub.greet()

Documentation & Help:

A key advantage of EntropyHub is the comprehensive documentation available to help users to make the most of the toolkit.

To learn more about a specific function, one can do so easily from the command line by typing: ?, which will open the julia help system, and then typing the function name.

For example:

julia> ?
help?> SampEn     # Documentation on sample entropy function

julia> ?
help?> XSpecEn    # Documentation on cross-spectral entropy function

julia> ?
help?> hXMSEn     # Documentation on hierarchical multiscale cross-entropy function

All information on the EntropyHub package is detailed in the EntropyHub Guide, a .pdf document available to download here.

The EntropyHub Julia API can be found at https://MattWillFlood.github.io/EntropyHub.jl/stable/.
