+** MutualInformation.h
+** Part of the mutual information toolbox
+**
+** Contains functions to calculate the mutual information of
+** two variables X and Y, I(X;Y), to calculate the joint mutual information
+** of two variables X & Z on the variable Y, I(XZ;Y), and the conditional
+** mutual information I(x;Y|Z)
