English: The Kullback-Leibler divergence for a normal Gaussian probability distribution. This is an illustration of the area which is integrated when computing the KL divergence. On the top left is an example of two Gaussian PDF’s and to the right of that is the area which when integrated gives the KL metric. Below it are three more examples showing that as the mean between two distributions grows linearly, the area integrated grows much faster.
This image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “KL-Gauss-Example.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
