Improvement of the k-nn Entropy Estimator with Applications in Systems Biology

In this paper, we investigate efficient estimation of differential entropy for multivariate random variables. We propose bias correction for the nearest neighbor estimator, which yields more accurate results in higher dimensions. In order to demonstrate the accuracy of the improvement, we calculated...
