I agree, but I'm not sure it the one that Cecilia talks about is a good fit.
MI based feature selection is still a field of pretty active research, right? Is there a good review paper?
Or some set of standard algorithms?

A good MI-based feature selector would be welcome, I think. Well, by me, anyway.

    Hi Cecilia.
    An MI estimate currently seems a bit out of scope of sklearn.
    What context would a user apply it in?
    Sklearn currently contains more out-of-the-box methods, while an
    MI estimator seems more like a building block.

    Cheers,
    Andy

    Hi,
    May you tell me if you are interested by this measure (see my previous mail 
below)? In which part of scikit-learn may I develop it : clustering, feature 
selection?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    I have developped a script on mutual information estimation based on Renyi 
entropy Cauchy-Schwartz divergence (and Parzen-Window function for continous 
variables).This script allows to estimate MI between two disctete, continous 
and mixed (discrete and continous) variables. I'll plan to first parallelize 
the code and second to improve the code in order to estime MI between more than 
two features.
    If you are interested by this script, I can push the first version and 
modify it according to your feedback.
    Let me know.Greetings,Cécilia Damon
