Exact Test of Independence Using Mutual Information
Using a recently discovered method for producing random symbol sequences with prescribed transition counts, we present an exact null hypothesis significance test (NHST) for mutual information between two random variables, the null hypothesis being that the mutual information is zero (i.e., independence). The exact tests reported in the literature assume that data samples for each variable are s...
متن کاملNonparametric independence testing via mutual information
We propose a test of independence of two multivariate random vectors, given a sample from the underlying population. Our approach, which we call MINT, is based on the estimation of mutual information, whose decomposition into joint and marginal entropies facilitates the use of recently-developed efficient entropy estimators derived from nearest neighbour distances. The proposed critical values,...
متن کاملClustering of a Number of Genes Affecting in Milk Production using Information Theory and Mutual Information
Information theory is a branch of mathematics. Information theory is used in genetic and bioinformatics analyses and can be used for many analyses related to the biological structures and sequences. Bio-computational grouping of genes facilitates genetic analysis, sequencing and structural-based analyses. In this study, after retrieving gene and exon DNA sequences affecting milk yield in dairy ...
متن کاملMutual Information as a Bayesian Measure of Independence
The problem of hypothesis testing is examined from both the historical and the Bayesian points of view in the case that sampling is from an underlying joint probability distribution and the hypotheses tested for are those of independence and dependence of the underlying distribution. Exact results for the Bayesian method are provided. Asymptotic Bayesian results and historical method quantities...
متن کاملSpecies independence of mutual information in coding and noncoding DNA.
We explore if there exist universal statistical patterns that are different in coding and noncoding DNA and can be found in all living organisms, regardless of their phylogenetic origin. We find that (i) the mutual information function [symbol: see text] has a significantly different functional form in coding and noncoding DNA. We further find that (ii) the probability distributions of the aver...
