Looks if the nominal or character columns are equally distributed according to the entropy and taking into account the independence between batches. If any column is different in each row it is assumed to be the sample names and thus omitted.
Arguments
- i
list of numeric indices of the data.frame
- pheno
Data.frame with information about the samples

Examples
data(survey, package = "MASS")
index <- design(survey[, c("Sex", "Smoke", "Age")], size_subset = 50,
iterations = 10)
#> Warning: There might be some problems with the data use check_data().
# Note that numeric columns will be omitted:
evaluate_entropy(index, survey[, c("Sex", "Smoke", "Age")])
#> Sex Smoke
