% Calculates the distance between sets of vectors.
%
% Let X be an m-by-p matrix representing m points in p-dimensional space
% and Y be an n-by-p matrix representing another set of points in the same
% space. This function computes the m-by-n distance matrix D where D(i,j)
% is the distance between X(i,:) and Y(j,:).  This function has been
% optimized where possible, with most of the distance computations
% requiring few or no loops.
%
% The metric can be one of the following:
%
% 'euclidean' / 'sqeuclidean':
%   Euclidean / SQUARED Euclidean distance.  Note that 'sqeuclidean'
%   is significantly faster.
%
% 'chisq'
%   The chi-squared distance between two vectors is defined as:
%    d(x,y) = sum( (xi-yi)^2 / (xi+yi) ) / 2;
%   The chi-squared distance is useful when comparing histograms.
%
% 'cosine'
%   Distance is defined as the cosine of the angle between two vectors.
%
% 'emd'
%   Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) between positive vectors (histograms).
