In this paper, we investigate various statistical distance measures from the point of view of discovering low distortion embeddings into low dimensional spaces. More specifically, we consider the Mahalanobis distance measure, the Bhattacharyya class of divergences and the Kullback-Leibler divergence. We present a dimensionality reduction method based on the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma for the Mahalanobis measure that achieves arbitrarily low distortion. By using the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma again, we further demonstrate that the Bhattacharyya distance admits dimensionality reduction with arbitrarily low additive error. We also examine the question of embeddability into metric spaces for these distance measures due to the availability of efficient indexing schemes on metric spaces. We provide explicit constructions of point sets under the Bhattacharyya and the Kullback-Leibler divergences whose embeddings into any metric space incur arbitrarily large distortions. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first investigation into these distance measures from the point of view of dimensionality reduction and embeddability into metric spaces.
