Hi all, re. FDA Ciclosporine draft guidance: Does anyone know where I should start to get to grips with Earth-mover's distance for real and in practice? Wikipedia, the reference indicated in the guidance and some random googling hasn't given me a solid basis for understanding anything, much less for doing anything of value with it. Note that the footnote opens up the possibility of using some other statistical similarity measures, and I hope to go that way, but let us for the purpose of this thread discuss EMD only    — Pass or fail!

Hi ElMaestro, ❝ […] Earth-mover's distance … OT: Wow, what a term! Reminds me on Δῶς μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω.

Hi Hötzi, ❝ Bonus question: Who the heck is Stolfi? What???? I don't think I know anyone with that name or with that handle. Sounds like a German side dish. "Einmal Currywurst mit Stolfi und dazu ein Fassbier, bitte!" — Pass or fail! ElMaestro |

Hi ElMaestro, ❝ ❝ Bonus question: Who the heck is Stolfi? ❝ I don't think I know anyone with that name or with that handle. Acc. to the original publication the lad* who coined the term (personal communication 1994). ❝ Sounds like a German side dish. ❝ "Einmal Currywurst mit Stolfi und dazu ein Fassbier, bitte!" Reminds me on the German release of Disney’s Lady and the Tramp (“Susi und Strolch”). Edit: Jorge Stolfi. — Dif-tor heh smusma 🖖🏼 Довге життя Україна!

"Informally, if the distributions are interpreted as two different ways of piling up a certain amount of dirt over the region D, the EMD is the minimum cost of turning one pile into the other; where the cost is assumed to be amount of dirt moved times the distance by which it is moved." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_mover%27s_distance Seriously? Mayby some quantum effects might come into play... I'm out (never in). — Kindest regards, nobody |
