Description: Provides functions to compute Shannon entropy, Renyi
        entropy, Tsallis entropy, and related extropy measures for
        discrete probability distributions. Includes joint and
        conditional entropy, KL divergence, Jensen-Shannon divergence,
        cross-entropy, normalized entropy, and Renyi extropy (including
        the conditional and maximum forms). All measures use the
        natural logarithm (nats). Useful for information theory,
        statistics, and machine learning applications.
