\title{ Extract the Normalized Entropy }
\description{
 Extracts the normalized entropy from a list of flowMerge objects.
}
\usage{
NENT(x)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{x}{A list of flowMerge objects }
}
\details{
 The normalized entropy is extracted from a flowMerge object by computing \eqn{\frac{E}{K*n}} where \eqn{E} is the entropy, and \eqn{K} and n are the number of clusters and data points, respectively. 
}
\value{
    Returns a vector of normalized entropy values for the flowMerge objects.
  }
