I am working on this problem in which I have a dataset of $n$-dimensional examples that come from different and unknown distributions. Given a new sample, I wish to find $k$ examples from the dataset that come from distribution(s) closest to the new sample. Which measure (Kullback-Leibler vs Hellinger Distance) might be more suitable for this and why?
