Unscented Hellinger distance between GMMs
This is a demo code for the unscented Hellinger distance between a pair of Gaussian mixture models. The code follows the derivation of the multivariate unscented Hellinger distance introduced in [1]. Unlike the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the Hellinger distance is a proper metric between the distributions and is constrained to interval (0,1) with 0 meaning complete similarity and 1 complete dissimilarity.
