One of the designs of cellular manufacturing systems (CMS) requires that a machine population be partitioned into machine cells. Numerous methods are available for clustering machines into machine cells. One method involves using a similarity coefficient. Similarity coefficients between machines are not absolute, and they still need more attention from researchers. Although there are a number o...

synthetic plants as well as wild crop species are valuable genetic resourses. to determine the genetic variation in triticale, tritipyrum as well as wheat lines, genomic dna of this amphiploid including thinopyrum bessarabicum and durum wheat were amplified using 32 random and 22 semi random primers. primers that could produce clear, polymorphic and repetitive bands are used for determination o...

The paper compares three formulations of n-way (for groups of size n ≥ 2) similarity coefficients for binary sequences. Properties that the similarity coefficients may have in general, not just for specific data, are discussed, and it is investigated how the different n-way formulations are related. Using the n-way Bennani-Heiser coefficients, the similarity between m sequences (2 ≤ m ≤ n) is a...

In the last few decades, the use of similarity measures has been becoming more and more important due to the relevance of comparing samples in order to find out clusters of similar samples, to generate priority lists, and, in general, to discover patterns in data structures. In drug design, their relevance is already well established to search for the most suitable alternative to a target drug....

Similarity coefficients (also known as coefficients of association) are important measurement techniques used to quantify the extent to which objects resemble one another. Due to privacy concerns, the data owner might not want to participate in any similarity measurement if the original dataset will be revealed or could be derived from the final output. There are many different measurements use...
