Extracts the normalized entropy from a list of flowMerge objects.
Usage
NENT(x)
Arguments
x
A list of flowMerge objects
Details
The normalized entropy is extracted from a flowMerge object by computing frac{E}{K*n} where E is the entropy, and K and n are the number of clusters and data points, respectively.
Value
Returns a vector of normalized entropy values for the flowMerge objects.
Warning
This function doesn't do enough error checking and will try to extract the entropy from a list of anything.
