Let p1
and p2
denote the vectors of probability mass assigned
by two distributions defined on the same state space. Then, the Euclidean
distance between p1
and p2
is given by
(sum(abs(p1 - p2)^2))^(1/2)
.
The Euclidean distance is equal to the 2-metric.
The Euclidean distance between distributions p1
and p2
