Hey now, that's enough talk about JIDT and IDTxl in Inform's issues sections. 😜 @aleksejs-fomins, thanks for your interest in Inform. I'll try to answer your questions, but right out...

@mwibral Ha. No worries. I was just giving you a hard time. The details might be different, but I think your comments are useful for Inform users too.

@kjaquier Sorry I just saw this. You must be running on a machine with quite a bit of memory given it looks like you hit an index overflow before you...

### Proposed API ```c EXPORT double inform_active_info(int const *series, size_t n, size_t *m, int b, size_t k, inform_error *err); ```

## Discussion As per @gvalentini85's initial synopsis, we are interested in broadening the definition of the local measures. Specifically, all of the local measures use distributions constructed from the entire...

This issue is somewhat problematic. While we can certainly implement the local variant as described, I'm not sure that we should. As such, we're pushing the ultimate decision on this...

I would love it if we could come up with an API that would let the user decide which class of measure they would like to use. The C API...

Maybe something like (making this up right now...) ``` C typedef struct inform_polynomial { int degree; double *coefficients; } inform_polynomial; // IEEE 754 specifies that floating-point values can be INF...

BTW, I'm absolutely certain that libraries exist for this kind of thing: GSL [linear](https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Least_002dSquares-Fitting.html#Least_002dSquares-Fitting) and [non-Linear](https://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Nonlinear-Least_002dSquares-Fitting.html#Nonlinear-Least_002dSquares-Fitting) least-squares fitting.
