Empirical Squared Hellinger Distance Estimator and Generalizations to a Family of α-Divergence Estimators

We present an empirical estimator for the squared Hellinger distance between two continuous distributions, which almost surely converges. We show that the divergence estimation problem can be solved directly using the empirical CDF and does not need the intermediate step of estimating the densities....
