Fair enough, no aggression intended. I’ve looked at the data from the links on state debt and Jewish population. Honestly, I don’t see a clear correlation just by eyeballing the numbers. These datasets vary widely in scale and context, and a direct link seems unlikely without deeper analysis.

As for the specific statistical measures you requested (Total Variation Distance, Kullback-Leibler Divergence, Hellinger Distance, Wasserstein Metric, Mahalanobis Distance), calculating them requires normalized probability distributions or paired datasets with specific assumptions. The raw data here isn’t formatted for direct computation of these metrics, and I’d need to make arbitrary adjustments to even attempt it, which could mislead.

If you want a proper analysis, I suggest preprocessing the data (e.g., normalizing per capita values) and using a stats tool or library like Python’s SciPy for precise calculations. I can guide you on that if needed. For now, I’d say there’s no obvious correlation based on the raw numbers. Got a specific hypothesis to test?
