Families of Alpha- Beta- and Gamma- Divergences: Flexible and Robust Measures of Similarities

Families of Alpha- Beta- and Gamma- Divergences: Flexible and Robust Measures of Similarities

In this paper, we extend and overview wide families of Alpha-, Beta- and Gamma-divergences and discuss their fundamental properties. In literature usually only one single asymmetric (Alpha, Beta or Gamma) divergence is considered. We show in this paper that there exist families of such divergences w...
