Wasserstein Distance
In loose terms, Wasserstein distance compares the piles of probability weights stacked in two distributions. Itâs often dubbed âearth-mover distance,â as the Wasserstein distance measures the cost and effort needed to move probability piles of one distribution to turn it into the comparison distribution. For more mathematically sophisticated readers, the pth Wasserstein distance can be calculated by taking the expected value of the joint distribution marginals to the pth power, finding the infimum over all join probability distributions of those random variables, and taking the pth root of the result. However, the details of this are beyond what is expected of readers, and weâll stick with the intuition of earth-mover distance as we explore this metric. Letâs visualize two distributions of dirt piles to build some intuition behind this metric (Figure 5-9).
