wrapper for getting the mine coefficients
c_mine(confs, master = NULL, alpha = 0.6, C = 15, var.thr = 1e-05, zeta = NULL)
confs: a numeric matrix or data frame with two columnsmaster: the master columnalpha: an optional number of cells allowed in the X-by-Y search-grid. Default value is 0.6C: an optional number determining the starting point of the X-by-Y search-grid. When trying to partition the x-axis into X columns, the algorithm will start with at most C X clumps. Default value is 15.var.thr: minimum value allowed for the variance of the input variables, since mine can not be computed in case of variance close to 0. Default value is 1e-5.zeta: integer in [0,1] (?). If NULL (default) it is set to 1-MIC. It can be set to zero for noiseless functions, but the default choice is the most appropriate parametrization for general cases (as stated in Reshef et al. SOM; they call it epsilon in the paper). It provides robustness.
