In this work we review Entropy-type measures and Divergences, discuss their properties and unfold their diverse applicability. In addition, we compare distances between populations and distributions via weighted Entropy-type measures relying mainly on Relative Entropy and Jeffrey’s Distance with weights. Finally, we introduce the Absolute Weighted Relative Entropy and the Absolute Weighted Jeffrey’s Distance. Two applications are presented for illustration, one from Geosciences and one from Financial Mathematics.
