kld_uniform: Analytical KL divergence for two uniform distributions

Description

This function computes \(D_{KL}(p||q)\), where \(p\sim \text{U}(a_1,b_1)\) and \(q\sim \text{U}(a_2,b_2)\), with \(a_2<a_1<b_1<b_2\).

Usage

kld_uniform(a1, b1, a2, b2)

Value

A scalar (the Kullback-Leibler divergence)

Arguments

a1, b1

Range of true uniform distribution

a2, b2

Range of approximate uniform distribution

Examples

Run this code
kld_uniform(a1 = 0, b1 = 1, a2 = 0, b2 = 2)
