Considering I'm using euclidean distance to calculate the distance between two vector.
cosined=sqrt(sum(abs((a-b).^2)))
Now I want to change euclidean into chi-square distance, does anyone know how to calculate chi-square distance between two vectors?

I found this page after googling for about 30 seconds: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~mmerler/project/code/pdist2.m

MATLAB has a built-in pdist2 function, which you are presumably calling (rather than the one from the link listed above). You have two options:
  • Download the function from the link above, and use it
  • Use the built-in MATLAB function, which has the ability to define a custom distance function, and code the chi-square distance yourself.
