In subtask  '''(1)'''  the Kullback-Leibler distance of the two probability functions  $P_X(X)$  and  $Q_X(X)$  for  $X = \{0,\ 1,\ 2\}$   ⇒   $|X| = 3$  is to be determined.
  
$Q_X^{ (A) } = [ Q_X(A_1),.......,Q_X(A_K)]$ ,  wobei    $Q_X(A_i) = \sum\limits_{ x \epsilon A_i } Q_X(x)$
+
*Then the set  $X$  is to be partitioned with  $K = 2$  according to
 +
:* $A = \{A_1 ,\ A_2\}$   with   $A_1 =\{0\}$   and  $A_2 = \{ 1,\ 2 \}$ ,
 +
:* $B = \{B_1 ,\ B_2\}$   with   $B_1 =\{1\}$   and  $B_2 = \{ 0,\ 2 \}$,  
 +
:* $C = \{C_1 ,\ C_2\}$    with   $C_1 =\{2\}$   and  $C_2 = \{ 0,\ 1\}$.
  
Die $Partitionierungsungleichung$ liefert folgende Größenrelation hinsichtlich der Kullback–Leibler–Distanzen:
+
*Then the respective Kullback-Leibler distances are to be given:
 +
:* $D(P_X^{ (A) } \hspace{0.05cm} \vert \vert \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{ (A) } )$,

$D(P_X^{ (A) } \parallel Q_X^{ (A) } ) \leq  D(P_X \parallel Q_X)$
+
*Finally, subtask  '''(5)'''  asks for the conditions that must be satisfied for the equal sign to be true in the above inequality.
  
  
In der Aufgabe (a) soll die Kullback–Leibler–Distanz der beiden Wahrscheinlichkietsfunktionen $P_X(X)$ und $Q_X(X)$ für $X = \{0, 1, 2\} \Rightarrow  |X| = 3$ ermittelt werden. Anschließend soll die Menge $X$ entsprechend
 
:* $A = \{A_1 , A_2\}$  mit  $A_1 =\{0\}$  und $A_2 = \{ 1,2 \}$ ,
 
:* $B = \{B_1 , B_2\}$  mit  $B_1 =\{1\}$  und $B_2 = \{ 0,2 \}$ ,
 
:* $C = \{C_1 , C_2\}$  mit  $C_1 =\{2\}$  und $C_2 = \{  0,1\}$ ,
 
  
mit $K = 2$ partitioniert werden und es sollen die jeweiligen Kullback–Leibler–Distanzen
 
:* $D(P_X^{ (A) } \parallel Q_X^{ (A) } )$
 
  
:* $D(P_X^{ (B) } \parallel Q_X^{ (B) } )$ ,

Two probability functions  $P_X$  and  $Q_X$

The  Kullback–Leibler distance  (KLD for short)  is also used in the  "Partition Unequality":

  • We assume the set  $X = \{ x_1, \hspace{0.15cm} x_2, \text{...} \hspace{0.05cm}, \hspace{0.15cm} x_M \}$  and the probability functions
$$P_X(X) = P_X ( x_1, \hspace{0.15cm} x_2, \text{...} \hspace{0.05cm}, \hspace{0.15cm} x_M )\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$$Q_X(X) =Q_X ( x_1, \hspace{0.15cm} x_2, \text{...} \hspace{0.05cm}, \hspace{0.15cm} x_M ), $$
which are said to be  "similar in some way".
  • We divide the set  $X$  into partitions  $A_1, \text{...} ,  A_K$, which are  disjoint  to each other and result in a  complete system :
$$\bigcup_{i=1}^{K} = X, \hspace{0.5cm} A_i \cap A_j = {\it \phi} \hspace{0.25cm}\text{für}\hspace{0.25cm} 1 \le i \ne j \le K .$$
  • In the following, we denote the probability functions with respect to the partitionings  $A_1,\ A_2, \text{...} ,\ A_K$  by
$$P_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(A)} = \big [ P_X ( A_1 )\hspace{0.05cm}, \hspace{0.05cm}\text{...}\hspace{0.1cm},P_X ( A_K ) \big ],\hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.5cm}{\rm where}\hspace{0.15cm} P_X ( A_i ) = \sum_{ x \in A_i} P_X ( x )\hspace{0.05cm},$$
$$Q_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(A)}= \big [ Q_X ( A_1 )\hspace{0.05cm}, \hspace{0.05cm}\text{...}\hspace{0.1cm},Q_X ( A_K ) \big ],\hspace{0.05cm}\hspace{0.40cm}{\rm where}\hspace{0.15cm} Q_X ( A_i ) = \sum_{ x \in A_i} Q_X ( x )\hspace{0.05cm}. $$

$\text{Please note:}$  The  partitioning inequality  yields the following size relation with respect to the Kullback-Leibler distances:

$$D(P_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(A)} \hspace{0.05cm} \vert \vert \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(A)}) \hspace{0.25cm}\le \hspace{0.25cm}D(P_X \hspace{0.05cm}\vert \vert \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X) \hspace{0.05cm}.$$


In subtask  (1)  the Kullback-Leibler distance of the two probability functions  $P_X(X)$  and  $Q_X(X)$  for  $X = \{0,\ 1,\ 2\}$   ⇒   $|X| = 3$  is to be determined.

  • Then the set  $X$  is to be partitioned with  $K = 2$  according to
  • $A = \{A_1 ,\ A_2\}$  with  $A_1 =\{0\}$  and  $A_2 = \{ 1,\ 2 \}$ ,
  • $B = \{B_1 ,\ B_2\}$  with  $B_1 =\{1\}$  and  $B_2 = \{ 0,\ 2 \}$,
  • $C = \{C_1 ,\ C_2\}$  with  $C_1 =\{2\}$  and  $C_2 = \{ 0,\ 1\}$.
  • Then the respective Kullback-Leibler distances are to be given:
  • $D(P_X^{ (A) } \hspace{0.05cm} \vert \vert \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{ (A) } )$,
  • $D(P_X^{ (B) } \hspace{0.05cm} \vert \vert \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{ (B) } )$,
  • $D(P_X^{ (C) } \hspace{0.05cm} \vert \vert \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{ (C) } )$.
  • Finally, subtask  (5)  asks for the conditions that must be satisfied for the equal sign to be true in the above inequality.





Hints:

$$P_X(X) = \big [1/4 , \ 1/2 , \ 1/4 \big ],\hspace{0.5cm} Q_X(X) = \big [1/8, \ 3/4, \ 1/8 \big].$$

(1)  For the Kullback-Leibler distance of the non-partitioned quantities  $X$  and  $Y$  holds:

$$D(P_X \hspace{0.05cm} || \hspace{0.05cm}P_Y) = {\rm E} \left [ {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{P_X(X)}{P_Y(X)}\right ] \hspace{0.2cm}=\hspace{0.2cm} \sum_{x \hspace{0.05cm}\in \hspace{0.05cm}X} P_X(x) \cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{P_X(x)}{P_Y(x)}$$
$$\Rightarrow D(P_X \hspace{0.05cm} || \hspace{0.05cm}P_Y) = \hspace{-0.15cm} \frac{1}{2}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{1/2}{3/4} + 2 \cdot \frac{1}{4}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{1/4}{1/8} = \frac{1}{2}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} (2) = 1- \frac{1}{2}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} (3) \hspace{0.15cm} \underline {=0.2075\,{\rm (bit)}} \hspace{0.05cm}.$$


(2)  With  $\text{partition }A$   ⇒   $A_1 = \{0\}$ ,  $A_2 = \{ 1 , 2 \}$  we get  $P_X^{ (A) } (X) = \{1/4 , \ 3/4\}$  and  $Q_X^{ (A) } (X) = \{1/8 , \ 7/8\}$.  From this follows:

$$D(P_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(A)} \hspace{0.05cm}|| \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(A)}) = \frac{1}{4}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{1/4}{1/8} + \frac{3}{4}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{3/4}{7/8} =\frac{1}{4}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} (2) + \frac{3}{4}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{6}{7} \hspace{0.15cm} \underline {=0.0832\,{\rm (bit)}} \hspace{0.05cm}.$$


(3)  With  $\text{partition } B$   ⇒   $B_1 = \{1\}$ ,  $B_2 = \{ 0 ,\ 2 \}$  the probability functions are  $P_X^{ (B) } (X) = \{1/2 , \ 1/2\}$  und  $Q_X^{ (B) } (X) = \{3/4 , \ 1/4\}$. 

  • Analogous to subtask  (2)  one thus obtains:
$$D(P_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(B)} \hspace{0.05cm}|| \hspace{0.05cm} Q_X^{\hspace{0.15cm}(B)}) = \frac{1}{2}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{1/2}{3/4} + \frac{1}{2}\cdot {\rm log}_2 \hspace{0.1cm} \frac{1/2}{1/4} \hspace{0.15cm} \underline {=0.2075\,{\rm (bit)}} \hspace{0.05cm}.$$
  • The result agrees with that of subtask  (1)    ⇒   With  $\text{partition }B$  the equal sign applies.



(4)  With  $\text{partition } C$   ⇒   $C_1 = \{2\}$ , $C_2 = \{ 0 , \ 1\}$  one obtains  $P_X^{ (C) } (X) = \{1/4, \ 3/4\}$ , $Q_X^{ (C) } (X) = \{1/8, \ 7/8\}$,
i.e. the same functions as for the  $\text{partition }A$   ⇒   solution proposal 1.


(5)  The  $\text{partition }B$  has led to the result  $D(P_X^{ (B) } \hspace{0.05cm} || \hspace{0.05cm}Q_X^{ (B) } ) = D(P_X \hspace{0.05cm} || \hspace{0.05cm}Q_X)$.

  • So for this case
$$\frac{P_X(1)}{Q_X(1)} = \frac{1/2}{3/4} = \frac{2}{3}, \ \frac{P_X(B_1)}{Q_X(B_1)} = \frac{1/2}{3/4} = {2}/{3},$$
$$\frac{P_X(0)}{Q_X(0)} = \frac{1/4}{1/8} = 2, \ \frac{P_X(B_2)}{Q_X(B_2)} = \frac{1/2}{1/4} = 2,$$
$$\frac{P_X(2)}{Q_X(2)} = \frac{1/4}{1/8} = 2, \ \frac{P_X(B_2)}{Q_X(B_2)} = \frac{1/2}{1/4} = 2.$$
  • It must therefore hold for all  $x \in X$  :
$$\frac{P_X(x)}{Q_X(x)} = \frac{P_X(B_1)}{Q_X(B_1)}, \text{ if } x \in B_1, \hspace{0.5cm}\frac{P_X(x)}{Q_X(x)} = \frac{P_X(B_2)}{Q_X(B_2)}, \text{ if } x \in B_2.$$
  • By generalization, one can see that  both proposed solutions  are correct.
