Using Hellinger Method To Evaluate The Distance For Continuous Distributions And Discrete Distributions

Abstract

Hillinger presented a method to calculating the distance between distributions of parameter by utilizing the concept of contrast function. In this work Hillinger method is used to measure the distance for continuous distributions and discrete distributions respectively, (i,e) between theire probability density functions of two gamma distributions , two exponential distributions as a special case of gamma distribution , also for two Poisson distributions as discrete distributions.
