Example 4: Cross-Distribution Entropy w/ Different Binning Methods

Import a signal of pseudorandom integers in the range [1, 8] and calculate the cross- distribution entropy with an embedding dimension (m) of 5, a time delay (tau) of 3, and Sturges’ bin selection method.

X = ExampleData('randintegers2');
XDist = XDistEn(X(:,1), X(:,2), 'm', 5, 'tau', 3)

>>> Note: 17/25 bins were empty
    XDist = 0.5248

Use Rice’s method to determine the number of histogram bins and return the probability of each bin (Ppi).

[XDist, Ppi] = XDistEn(X(:,1), X(:,2), 'm', 5, 'tau', 3, 'Bins', 'rice')

>>> Note: 407/415 bins were empty
    XDist = 0.2802

    Ppi = 1×8
