%T Comprehensive Survey on Distance/Similarity 
Measures between Probability Density Functions
%X Distance or similarity measures are essential to solve 
many pattern recognition problems such as classification, clustering, and retrieval problems. Various distance/similarity measures that are applicable to compare two probability density functions, pdf in short, are  reviewed  and  categorized  in  both  syntactic  and  semantic relationships. A correlation coefficient and a hierarchical clustering technique  are  adopted  to  reveal  similarities  among numerous distance/similarity measures.
