[R] Confidence intervals around the MIC (Maximal information coefficient)

[David L Carlson]

You need:

myCor <- function(data, index){
    mine(data[index, ])$MIC[1, 2]
}
results=boot(data = cbind(C,D), statistic = myCor, R = 2000)
boot.ci(results,type="all")

Look at the differences between:
mine(C, D)

and

mine(cbind(C, D))

The first returns a value, the second returns a symmetric matrix. Just like cor()

Subject: Re: [R] Confidence intervals around the MIC (Maximal information coefficient)

Hi Rui,

Many thanks. The R code works BUT the results I get are quite weird I guess !

MIC = 0.2650

Normal 95% CI = (0.9614,  1.0398)

The MIC is not inside the confidence intervals !


Is there something wrong in the R code ?


Here is the reproducible example :

##########

C=c(2,4,5,6,3,4,5,7,8,7,6,5,6,7,7,8,5,4,3,2)
D=c(3,5,4,6,7,2,3,1,2,4,5,4,6,4,5,4,3,2,8,9)
library(minerva)

mine(C,D)$MIC
library(boot)
myCor <- function(data, index){
mine(data[index, ])$MIC
}
results=boot(data = cbind(C,D), statistic = myCor, R = 2000)
boot.ci(results,type="all")

##########

Hello,

First of all, when I tried to use function mic I got an error.

  mic(cbind(C, D))
Error in mic(cbind(C, D)) : could not find function "mic"

So I've changed your function myCor and all went well, with a warning 
relative to BCa intervals.

myCor <- function(data, index){
     mine(data[index, ])$MIC
}
results=boot(data = cbind(C,D), statistic = myCor, R = 2000)
boot.ci(results,type="all")


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
