kl_div R Documentation
Kullback-Leibler divergence for discrete distributions
Description
Computes KL(p || q) in bits for discrete probability vectors.
Zero-probability events in p contribute zero; positive mass in p
where q is zero returns Inf.
Usage
kl_div(p, q)
Arguments
p, q
Numeric probability vectors of the same length.
Value
A single numeric value: the KL divergence in bits.
