##### Perform a histogram test with the metric JSD

This check divides the data into blocks, estimates their probability density functions by histograms and compares them by using the Jenson-Shannon Divergence.

##### Usage
qat_analyse_histogram_test_jsd_1d(measurement_vector, blocksize, numofbars,
factorofbar)
##### Arguments
measurement_vector
The measurement vector, which should be tested
blocksize
Number of elements in the first dimension, which should be used for each block
numofbars
Number of bins of the histogram
factorofbar
Correction factor for non-value bins
##### Details

The vector will be divided into blocks, with a length given by the parameter blocksize. From these blocks histograms are computed and afterwards compared. As a metric for the comparison the Jenson-Shannon Divergence is used. As a result a field is generated, which includes the results of the comparison between every combination of blocks.
