Distance between two time-dependent distribution

Data Science Asked by Mikhail Genkin on June 17, 2021

In my research, I want to use a meaningful and computationally tractable distance between two time-dependent probability distributions. For stationary distributions, several distance measures are used, such as KL divergence, JS divergence, Wasserstein distance, and so on.

Is anyone aware of a similar thing for two time-dependent distributions p1(x,t) and p2(x,t)?

In my problem, both distributions are the solutions of non-stationary Fokker-Planck equation,

dp1/dt = (-d/dx F1(x) + d2/dx2 D1(x) ) p1(x,t),  p1(0,t)=p10(x)
dp1/dt = (-d/dx F2(x) + d2/dx2 D2(x) ) p2(x,t),  p2(0,t)=p20(x)

Where the drift forces F1(x), F2(x), diffusion coefficients D1 and D2, and initial probability distributions p10(x) and p20(x) are computed from data. So, ideally, I want some kind of norm that can be expressed through the parameters of the Langevin equation.
