Divergence between two distributions has been of statistical interest for more than a century, beginning with Karl Pearson with his famous chisquare test. The paper revisits some of the well-known density divergence measures, and studies their interrelationship. In addition, it is demonstrated how Scheffe’s pointwise density convergence implies convergence of distributions, based on different divergence measures.
