Parameters ---------- idadf : IdaDataFrame target : str or list of str, optional A column or list of columns against to be used as target. Per default, consider all columns features : str or list of str, optional A column or list of columns to be used as features. Per default, consider all columns. symmetry : bool, default: True If True, compute the symmetric gain ratio as defined by [Lopez de Mantaras 1991]. Otherwise, the asymmetric gain ratio. ignore_indexer : bool, default: True Per default, ignore the column declared as indexer in idadf Returns ------- Pandas.DataFrame or Pandas.Series if only one target Notes ----- Input columns as target and features should be categorical, otherwise this measure does not make much sense.
