Jensen Inequality: If P (X) and Q (X) Are Two Discrete Probability Distributions, If and Only If P (X) Q (X) For All X

The Jensen inequality states that if p(x) and q(x) are two discrete probability distributions, the entropy of p(x) is greater than or equal to the entropy of p(x) weighted by the log of q(x). The proof of the Jensen inequality uses properties of logarithms and convexity to show the inequality holds for any probability distributions p(x) and q(x).
