Tasks

Tasks represent named probability distributions which are used in the benchmark.

Estimators

Estimators are the implemented mutual information estimators.

Samplers

Samplers represent joint probability distributions with known mutual information from which one can sample. They are lower level than Tasks and can be used to define new tasks by transformations which preserve mutual information.

Bend and Mix Models

Subpackage implementing distributions known as Bend and Mix Models, for which the ground-truth mutual information may not be known analytically, but can be efficiently approximated using Monte Carlo methods.

Interfaces

Interfaces defines the main interfaces used in the package.
