has gloss | eng: In statistics and information geometry, divergence or a contrast function is a function which establishes the “distance” of one probability distribution to the other on a statistical manifold. The divergence is a weaker notion than that of the distance in mathematics, in particular the divergence need not be symmetric (that is, in general the divergence from p to q is not equal to the divergence from q to p), and need not satisfy the triangle inequality. |
