I have two electric signals from different sources and I think that are similar. I have the FFT of the signals and I have their spectrums of frequency in separate arrays. How should I proceed to find the percentual of similarity the two signals?

4$\begingroup$ Can you put up the plots and/or data? That will go a long way. $\endgroup$ – Tarin Ziyaee Aug 7 '13 at 20:57

$\begingroup$ Do these signals carry any meaning or information? Are they interpreted by any of the human senses? Can you think of a class of transformations that would alter the shape of the signals but would still preserve their similarity? It's not clear if what you need is just a squared error or something more complicated... $\endgroup$ – pichenettes Aug 7 '13 at 23:17

You could measure the Cross-Correlation between the two signals.
Here's an almost identical thread, with a filling answer:
How do I implement cross-correlation to prove two audio files are similar?
Some general info on cross-correlation from wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-correlation
Hope that helps.
