A multiple-site similarity measure

A multiple-site similarity measure.

Similarity measures are among the most intuitive and common measures for comparing two or more sites, or samples, with respect to their species overlap. A restriction of similarity measures is that they are limited to pairwise comparisons even in a multiple-site study. This work presents a multiple-site similarity measure that makes use of information on species shared by more than two sites an...

A multiple-site similarity measure independent of richness.

The Diserud-Ødegaard multiple-site similarity index makes use of data on species shared by two or more sites, but produces equal similarity values in two different circumstances: species loss and true species turnover. We developed a new multiple-site similarity measure, which is independent of richness and performs better than the Diserud-Ødegaard index under conditions of equal richness betwe...

A Structural Similarity Measure

This paper outlines a measure of language similarity based on structural similarity of surface syntactic dependency trees. Unlike the more traditional string-based measures, this measure tries to reflect “deeper” correspondences among languages. The development of this measure has been inspired by the experience from MT of syntactically similar languages. This experience shows that the lexical ...

similarity measure for two densities

scott and szewczyk in technometrics, 2001, have introduced a similarity measure for twodensities f1 and f2 , by1, 21 21 1 2 2( , ), ,f fsim f ff f f f< >=< >< >wheref1, f2 f1(x, θ1)f2(x, θ2)dx.+∞−∞< >=∫sim(f1, f2) has some appropriate properties that can be suitable measures for the similarity of f1 and f2 .however, due to some restrictions on the value of parameters and the kind of densities, ...
