Jensen-Shannon divergence for discrete distributions
Description
Computes JSD(p, q) in bits for discrete probability vectors.
The value is bounded in [0, 1] for equally weighted mixtures.
Usage
jsd(p, q)
Arguments
p, q
Numeric probability vectors of the same length.
Value
A single numeric value: the Jensen-Shannon divergence in bits.
