This freedom is not only convenient, but actually necessary. Let f α {\displaystyle f_{\alpha }} be the generator of α {\displaystyle \alpha } -divergence, then f α {\displaystyle f_{\alpha }} and f 1 − α {\displaystyle f_{1-\alpha }} are convex inversions of each other, so D α ( P ‖ Q ) = D 1 − α ( Q ‖ P ) {\displayst... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-divergence |
