getKullbackLeibler(​P,Q)

call:

KLD = getKullbackLeibler(P,Q)

Compute Kullback-Leibler divergence of probability distribution Q from probability distribution P.
P represents the "true" distribution of data, observations, or a theoretical distribution.
whereas Q typically represents a theory, model, description, or approximation of P.
Both P and Q are thus distribution (obtained e.g. using 'getDensity.m') computed over the same range
(i.e. the same Bins -- if not, obviously it makes no sense to compare them).

The Kullback-Leibler divergence is an non-symmetric measure (see below) of the difference between
two probability distributions P and Q. Specifically, the Kullback–Leibler divergence of Q from P,
is a measure of the information lost when Q is used to approximate P. The Kullback–Leibler divergence
measures the expected number of extra bits (so intuitively it is non negative) required to code samples
from P when using a code optimized for Q, rather than using the true code optimized for P.
Although it is often intuited as a metric or distance, the Kullback–Leibler divergence is not a true
metric — for example, it is not symmetric: the Kullback–Leibler divergence from P to Q is generally
not the same as that from Q to P.

NOTE:
The code treat P and Q as DISCRETE probability distributions

INPUT

P : Reference Probability distribution (an <M x 1> vector, where M is the no. of bins used to compute the distribution)
Q : Probability distribution I want to compare with the reference one (an <M x 1> vector too)

OUTPUT

KLD : Kullback-Leibler divergence (a scalar)
