摘要
The roles of entropies and divergences in statistics and related fields are well known as indices of the diversity or variability and as pseudo-distances between statistical populations. The definition of these measures is extended in the case of mixed continuous and categorical variables, a case which is common in practice in the fields of medicine, behavioural sciences, and so on. The role of these indices in testing statistical hypothesis and as descriptive measures in the location model is clarified.
