mutual information, redundancy, adaptive histogram

The mutual information is useful measure of a random vector component dependence. It is important in many technical applications. The estimation methods are often based on the well known relation between the mutual information and the appropriate entropies. In 1999 Darbellay and Vajda proposed a direct estimation methods. In this paper we compare some available estimation methods using different 2-D random distributions.
