Show abstract
Using information measures to infer biological regulatory networks can observe nonlinear relationship between variables, but it is computationally challenging and there is currently no convenient tool available. We here describe an information theory R package named Informeasure that devotes to quantifying nonlinear dependence between variables in biological regulatory networks from an information theory perspective. This package compiles most of the information measures currently available: mutual information, conditional mutual information, interaction information, partial information decomposition and part mutual information. The first estimator is used to infer bivariate networks while the last four estimators are dedicated to analysis of trivariate networks. The base installation of this turn-key package allows users to approach these information measures out of the box. Informeasure is implemented in R program and is available as an R/Bioconductor package at https://bioconductor.org/packages/Informeasure.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
