function minestats = mine(x, y, alpha, c)
% MINE  Maximal Information-based Nonparametric Exploration
%
%   Returns a struct containing MIC, MAS, MEV, MCN (eps=0) and
%   MCN_GENERAL (eps=1-MIC).
%
%   MINESTATS = MINE(X, Y, ALPHA, C) computes the MINE statistics
%   between X and Y. X and Y must be row vectors of size n.
%   Alpha is the exponent in B(n) = n^alpha and must be in (0, 1.0].
%   Parameter c determines how many more clumps there will be than
%   columns in every partition and must be > 0.
%
%   MINESTATS = MINE(X, Y, ALPHA) computes the MINE statistics
%   between X and Y. Default value of c is 15.
%
%   MINESTATS = MINE(X, Y) computes the MINE statistics
%   between X and Y. Default value of alpha is 0.6 and default value
%   of c is 15.

% create x = [0, 0.001, 0.002, ..., 0.998, 0.999, 1]
x = linspace(0, 1, 1001);
% y = sin(10 * pi * x) + x
y = sin(10 * pi * x) + x;
% compute the mine statistics
minestats = mine(x, y);

% print the minestats structure
