Compare similarity of two histograms?

Hi guys,

I have 2 histograms which are normalized with 'probability' and both have 26 bars each. I want to compare histogram2 to histogram1 and "rotate" the bars or data of histogram2 and find out when both histograms were the most similiar.

So I was wondering if anyone of you had an idea how I can test the histograms of similarity. I dont know how to compare bc the values of each bar are not the exact same values.

Any ideas are appreciated, i feel pretty helpless right now

You may use pdist2 function to compare the histograms.
