On a Variational Definition for the Jensen-Shannon Symmetrization of Distances Based on the Information Radius

We generalize the Jensen-Shannon divergence and the Jensen-Shannon diversity index by considering a variational definition with respect to a generic mean, thereby extending the notion of Sibson’s information radius. The variational definition applies to any arbitrary distance and yields a new way to...
