abstract: Estimates the directed Kullback-Leibler divergence between two bivariate
  continuous distributions by numerical integration of kernel density estimates. Also
  computes pairwise divergences among groups and exact divergences for discrete, bivariate
  normal, bivariate Pareto type II, and independent bivariate Weibull models. The
  kernel estimator follows Chackochan, Sankaran and Nair (2026) <https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2025.2496687>.
