Support for different ways of computing phi? #37

Open filyp opened 4 years ago

filyp commented 4 years ago

As Max Tegmark pointed out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnEtNC8eFso or https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005123 there are many alternative ways of computing phi (he gives 420). For example you can choose how to compute the probability distributions, or which metric to use to compare them. I noticed in pyphi_config.yml that you support changing the distance metric with: MEASURE: "EMD". Do you have some support for other options he talks about? If not do you plan to add them in the future?
