💡 Pro tip: This is one of those techniques that will make you look like a data science wizard! KL Divergence Foundation - Made Simple!

KL divergence measures the relative entropy between two probability distributions, quantifying how one distribution differs from a reference distribution in statistical modeling and machine learning.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
from scipy.stats import entropy

def kl_divergence(p, q):
    # Ensure distributions sum to 1
    p = p / np.sum(p)
    q = q / np.sum(q)
    
    # Calculate KL divergence
    return entropy(p, q)

# Example distributions
p = np.array([0.2, 0.5, 0.3])
q = np.array([0.1, 0.4, 0.5])
kl_div = kl_divergence(p, q)
print(f"KL Divergence: {kl_div:.4f}")
# Output: KL Divergence: 0.1486

🚀 Mathematical Foundations - Made Simple!

Let me walk you through this step by step! Here’s how we can tackle this:

# KL Divergence formula
"""
$$KL(P||Q) = \sum_{i} P(i) \log(\frac{P(i)}{Q(i)})$$

Where:
P(i) - probability of event i in distribution P
Q(i) - probability of event i in distribution Q

For continuous distributions:
$$KL(P||Q) = \int P(x) \log(\frac{P(x)}{Q(x)}) dx$$

Relationship with entropy:
$$KL(P||Q) = H(P,Q) - H(P)$$

Where:
H(P,Q) - cross entropy between P and Q
H(P) - entropy of distribution P
