%MIGRAM Calculate windowed mutual information between two signals.
%   I = MIGRAM(A,B,MAXLAG,WINDOW,NOVERLAP) calculates the windowed mutual   
%   information between the signals in vector A and vector B. MIGRAM splits  
%   the signals into overlapping segments and forms the columns of I with 
%   their mutual information values up to maximum lag specified by scalar 
%   MAXLAG. Each column of I contains the mutual information function 
%   between the short-term, time-localized signals A and B.  Time increases
%   linearly across the columns of I, from left to right.  Lag increases 
%   linearly down the rows, starting at -MAXLAG. If lengths of A and B 
%   differ, the shorter signal is filled with zeros. If N is the length of 
%   the signals, I is a matrix with 2*MAXLAG+1 rows and 
%         k = fix((N-NOVERLAP)/(WINDOW-NOVERLAP)) 
%   columns.
%
%   I = MIGRAM(A,B,MAXLAG,WINDOW,NOVERLAP,NBINS) calculates the mutual
%   information based on histograms with the number of bins NBINS.
%
%   I = MIGRAM(...,'norm') calculates the renormalised mutual
%   information, which is I/log(NBINS) and ensures a value range [0 1].
%
%   [I,L,T] = MIGRAM(...) returns a column of lag L and one of time T
%   at which the mutual information is computed. L has length equal 
%   to the number of rows of I, T has length k.
%
%   I = MIGRAM(A,B) calculates windowed mutual information using defeault
%   settings; the defeaults are MAXLAG = floor(0.1*N), WINDOW = floor(0.1*N),
%   NOVERLAP = 0 and NBINS = 10. You can tell MIGRAM to use the defeault 
%   for any parameter by leaving it off or using [] for that parameter, e.g. 
%   MIGRAM(A,B,[],1000).
%
%   MIGRAM(A,B) with no output arguments plots the mutual information 
%   using the current figure.
%
%   EXAMPLE:
%       x = cos(0:.01:10*pi)';
%       y = sin(0:.01:10*pi)' + .5 * randn(length(x),1);
%       migram(x,y)
