Average of confidence shuffling #17

Original report by Honghao LI (Bitbucket: honghaoli42, ).


Currently the average is implemented as the average over exp(-Ixy), since exponential is convex, it underestimates the shuffled mutual information, leading to fewer cuts. I suggest using the average over Ixy instead, since the intended behavior of shuffled data is zero mutual information, rather than exp(-Ixy) == 1.
