A new paper introduces a novel family of divergences designed to generalize the comparison of two probability distributions to multiple distributions. These multi-distribution divergences, termed "multi-way coincidence divergences," are characterized by their monotonicity under data processing and additivity on independent products. The research demonstrates that this family arises from several independent theoretical routes, suggesting it is the canonical multi-distribution Rényi calculus. AI
