Jensen-Shannon Divergence

Question

I have another question that I was hoping someone could help me with.

I\'m using the Jensen-Shannon-Divergence to measure the similarity between two probability distribu

Answer 1

Since the Jensen-Shannon distance (distance.jensenshannon) has been included in Scipy 1.2, the Jensen-Shannon divergence can be obtained as the square of the Jensen-Shannon distance:

from scipy.spatial import distance

distance.jensenshannon([1.0/10, 9.0/10, 0], [0, 1.0/10, 9.0/10]) ** 2
# 0.5306056938642212
