中文版:卡方散度计算器

Chi Square Distance Calculator
分布 p(逗号分隔,和为 1)
参考分布 q(逗号分隔,和为 1,各项大于 0)

原理:卡方散度 χ²(p‖q) = Σ(p_i − q_i)²/q_i,用差异平方除以参考概率加权——偏离发生在 q 的小概率格上会被大幅放大。它是 f-散度家族中最便于计算的成员,也是 KL 散度在 p ≈ q 时的一阶(二阶矩)近似。

步骤:① 输入分布 p 与参考分布 q(q 各项须大于 0);② 点击计算;③ 读出卡方散度。

示例:p = (0.5, 0.5)、q = (0.9, 0.1) 时 χ² = 1.777777777778;p = (0.25, 0.25, 0.5)、q = (1/3, 1/3, 1/3) 时 χ² = 0.125;p = q 时 χ² = 0。

注意事项:本工具是散度(不对称:交换 p 与 q 结果不同),不是卡方拟合检验——卡方检验计算器做的是统计假设检验并给 p 值;q 出现零概率时散度为无穷大;χ² ≥ 0 恒成立,且当 p 接近 q 时 KL ≈ χ²/2(换底口径需换算)。

相关:卡方检验计算器处理「观测频数是否符合期望」的假设检验;KL 散度计算器给出对数口径;Rényi 散度计算器在 α 接近 2 时与本工具衔接。
