Discrepancy theory is a branch of mathematics and statistical theory that deals with the differences or discrepancies between two or more sets of data, distributions, or mathematical objects. It is often concerned with quantifying how much two sets differ from each other, which can be particularly useful in various fields such as statistics, optimization, and machine learning.
