1.1 Distance & Statistical Distance
Definition 1.1. Distance is a function defined on M .
d(x, y) : M × M → R
such that
a) d(x, y) ≥ 0, d(x, y) = 0 if x = y.
b) d(x, y) = d(y, x) (symmetry)
c) d(x, z) ≤ d(x, y) + d(y, z) (triangle inequality)
Example 1.1 (Euclidean distance).
p
d(x, y) = (x1 − y1 )2 + (x2 − y2 )2
△
Example 1.2 (Manhattan distance).
d(x, y) = |x1 − y1 | + |x2 − y2 |

1.2 Statistical Distance
Intuition. You might think that the red square is more extreme from the mean value
than blue square since it does not fall within the cloud of points. However, their Euclidean
distances are equal. Hence, we must take the variance into account when the cloud of
points is distributed in ellipse shape.
