Computation of Kullback–Leibler Divergence in Bayesian Networks [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2021
Kullback–Leibler divergence KL(p,q) is the standard measure of error when we have a true probability distribution p which is approximate with probability distribution q.

Guaranteed Bounds on Information-Theoretic Measures of Univariate Mixtures Using Piecewise Log-Sum-Exp Inequalities

open access: yesEntropy, 2016
Information-theoretic measures, such as the entropy, the cross-entropy and the Kullback–Leibler divergence between two mixture models, are core primitives in many signal processing tasks.

Kullback–Leibler Divergence of an Open-Queuing Network of a Cell-Signal-Transduction Cascade [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2023
Queuing networks (QNs) are essential models in operations research, with applications in cloud computing and healthcare systems. However, few studies have analyzed the cell’s biological signal transduction using QN theory.

Exact Expressions for Kullback–Leibler Divergence for Multivariate and Matrix-Variate Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
The Kullback–Leibler divergence is a measure of the divergence between two probability distributions, often used in statistics and information theory. However, exact expressions for it are not known for multivariate or matrix-variate distributions apart ...

On the Jensen–Shannon Symmetrization of Distances Relying on Abstract Means

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
The Jensen–Shannon divergence is a renowned bounded symmetrization of the unbounded Kullback–Leibler divergence which measures the total Kullback–Leibler divergence to the average mixture distribution.

Exact Expressions for Kullback–Leibler Divergence for Univariate Distributions [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
The Kullback–Leibler divergence (KL divergence) is a statistical measure that quantifies the difference between two probability distributions. Specifically, it assesses the amount of information that is lost when one distribution is used to approximate ...

Kullback Leibler divergence in complete bacterial and phage genomes [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
The amino acid content of the proteins encoded by a genome may predict the coding potential of that genome and may reflect lifestyle restrictions of the organism.
