Subject: Measuring Variational Distance
R-Users,
Does anyone know if there is a package or code somewhere in R that
provides a measure of the maximum difference between 2 distributions
defined on a common space? I think it is called variational distance? I
have constructed several marginal distribution plots (proportion/sample
where I defined bin-widths) showing the difference between 2 treatments and
I have been trying to get a measure of the difference in area between the
curves.
I tried searches using "variational distance" on the R website and CRAN
with no luck.
TIA,
