- In D_KL(p||q), which distribution weights the log-ratio terms?
- p
- q
- Their unweighted average
- The distribution with larger entropy
- Why is KL divergence not an ordinary symmetric distance?
- It can only be negative
- Swapping p and q generally changes the value
- It has no logarithms
- It is always exactly one
- For p(x)>0 and q(x)=0, what happens to the corresponding forward KL contribution?
- It is always one bit
- se vuelve cero
- diverge hasta el infinito
- It is omitted regardless of p
- In the fair-versus-biased coin example, why can one summand be negative while total KL remains nonnegative?
- The log base makes negative terms invalid
- Every term is required to be positive
- The formula takes an absolute value after summing
- Individual log ratios can be negative, though the weighted total is nonnegative
- What unit results from using base-two logarithms?
- Nats
- Bits
- Meters
- Percent points
- How does cross-entropy relate to entropy and forward KL?
- It is always zero when q differs
- It equals D_KL(Q||P) minus entropy
- H(P,Q) = H(P) + D_KL(P||Q)
- It is the reciprocal of KL
- In SciPy's entropy(pk, qk), what does supplying qk request?
- A test of whether probabilities are independent
- Only Shannon entropy of qk
- A symmetric distance between both arrays
- Relative entropy using pk relative to qk
- Which statement about continuous KL is accurate?
- It integrates a log density ratio under P and is infinite if P puts positive mass where Q has zero density
- It sums point probabilities at every real-valued outcome
- It is always finite whenever both distributions have densities
- It has no support condition for the compared distributions
