Average Kolmogorov-Smirnov Distance between Two Distributions (ksm_avg)

Average Kolmogorov-Smirnov Distance between Two Distributions. Kantorovich  (or Average Kolmogorov-Smirnov) distance  between a discrete distribution with variable probabilities of atoms and a fixed discrete distribution. This distance is calculated by taking the average of absolute values of differences between two distributions at atoms of the two discrete distributions with probabilities proportional to the distances between atoms.
