The parameters of the Drop Shadow effect in Photoshop are blend mode, colour, opacity, distance, spread, and size.

In Illustrator, they are colour, opacity, x-offset, y-offset, and blur.

I am struggling to recreate my Photoshop shadow effect in Illustrator. I understand the relationship between distance in Photoshop and x,y-offsets in Illustrator. Blur is what I am stuck at. Is there a metric/formula I can use to copy the shadow attributes from Photoshop to Illustrator?

Thanks for posting a nice question.
After repetetive attempts i obsorved that "Illustrator drop shadow blur" is 3 times of "drop shadow size in Photoshop". seems some fun observation.

photoshop dropdow shadow size = 10
Illustrator dropdoshadow Blur = (10/3)3.3
only the slight difference is Illustraor shadow smoothness (vector lines), photoshop shadow(raster).
