minepy 1.2.0

minepy provides an ANSI C library for the Maximal Information-based Nonparametric Exploration (MIC and MINE family). Key features:

• APPROX-MIC (the original algorithm, DOI: 10.1126/science.1205438) and MIC_e (DOI: arXiv:1505.02213 and DOI: arXiv:1505.02214) estimators;
• Total Information Coefficient (TIC, DOI: arXiv:1505.02213) and the Generalized Mean Information Coefficient (GMIC, DOI: arXiv:1308.5712);
• a C++ interface;
• an efficient Python API;
• an efficient MATLAB/OCTAVE API;
• a command-line application similar to the original MINE.jar;
• the minerva R interface is available at CRAN.

minepy is an open-source, GPLv3-licensed software.
