What to consider when choosing between f-divergence measures? (e.g.: kl-divergence, chi-square divergence, etc.)

I have some baseline population, and I have a non random sample from that population. For both the population and the sample I have observation of some measure (for simplicity, let's say age). I would like to measure how "un-similar" my sample is…

Comparison of Similarity Measures

Could anyone explain in simple words (and maybe with an example) What are the differences between Hamming Distance, Jaro, and Monge-Elkan in terms of quality data matching through the string similarity?
