HI All,

Rephrasing my question!

what kind of distance metric helps to to get just a scalar value like before so that I could for comparison between 2 histograms?

There are several distance metrics available. See the documentation for the pdist2 for a list of the ones available in the Statistics Toolbox, and a general description of what they are and how to compute them (and if you have the Statistics Toolbox, using the function to compute them for you).

With respect to your ‘rephrased Question’ — ALL of them! That’s the whole idea behind a distance metric.
