  <dc:title>Quantifying Similarity of Datasets and Multivariate Two- And
k-Sample Testing</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package DataSimilarity version 0.4.0</dc:title>
  <dc:description>A collection of methods for quantifying the similarity of two or more datasets, many of which can be used for two- or k-sample testing. It provides newly implemented methods as well as wrapper functions for existing methods that enable calling many different methods in a unified framework. The methods were selected from the review and comparison of Stolte et al. (2024) &lt;doi:10.1214/24-SS149&gt;. An empirical comparison of the methods was performed in Stolte et al. (2026) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.11458&gt; for categorical data and in Stolte et al. (2026) &lt;doi:10.48550/arXiv.2604.12327&gt; for numeric data.</dc:description>
