Testing Closeness of Discrete Distributions
Given samples from two distributions over an n-element set, we wish to test whether these distributions are statistically close. We present an algorithm which uses sublinear in n, specifically, O(n[superscript 2/3]ε[superscript −8/3] log n), independent samples from each distribution, runs in time l...
