## S4 method for signature 'Distribution,Distribution'
TotalVariation(p1, p2)
Arguments
p1, p2
Distributions.
Details
Let p1 and p2 denote the vectors of probability mass assigned
by two distributions defined on the same state space. Then, the total variation
distance between p1 and p2 is given by 0.5 * sum(abs(p1 - p2)).
The total variation distance is equal to one half of either the 1-metric or
the Manhattan distance.
Value
The total variation distance between distributions p1 and p2.
