Detecting Genetic Interactions for Quantitative Traits Using -Spacing Entropy Measure

Figure 1

The -dependence (a) and -dependence (b) of the entropy estimator . An ensemble of 3,000 sets of random sampling from was constructed and used for each point in the plot. The sample-spacing, , was fixed while varying the number of samples, , (a) to evaluate the -dependence of the entropy estimator. In (b), was fixed and was varied to show the -dependence. Analytically obtained true values are represented by the arrowed horizontal lines.
