Entropy

Usage

entropy(df, r_vec, markvar)

Arguments

df

data frame with x and y columns, along with a column for point marks

r_vec

vector of length wanted for breaks (will be rescaled) with max value at max for measuring entropy

markvar

The name of the variable that denotes cell type(s) of interest. Character.

Value

data frame with entropy calculated for length(r_vec) bins within 0 to max(r_vec)
