Graphical explanation of why the (a) variance and (b) Kullback–Leibler (KL) divergence are inappropriate. In (a), the variance of a diverse set (red) is smaller than that of a non-diverse set (blue), which does not suit our idea of diversity. In (b), the KL divergence of a diverse set (red) is equal to that of a non-diverse set (blue).
