A generalization of the Jensen divergence: The chord gap divergence
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce a novel family of distances, called the chord gap divergences, that generalizes the Jensen divergences (also called the Burbea-Rao distances), and study its properties. It follows a generalization of the celebrated statistical Bhattacharyya distance that is frequently met in applications. We report an iterative concave-convex procedure for computing centroids, and analyze the performance of the k-means++ clustering with respect to that new dissimilarity measure by introducing the
