On the convexity of some divergence measures based on entropy functions
Abstract
Three measures of divergence between vectors in a convex set of an-dimensional real vector space are defined in terms of certain types of entropy functions, and their convexity property is studied. Among other results, a classification of the entropies of degree\alphais obtained by the convexity of these measures. These results have applications in information theory and biological studies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
