Additive partitioning of a beta diversity index is controversial.
A recent study (1) reports the spatial clustering patterns of the global distribution of human infectious diseases. However, there are some controversial issues that arise from the beta diversity partitioning method used in the paper. To further debate these issues, we follow the same notations in the paper (1) by writing the Sorensen beta diversity index as βsor = ðb+ cÞ=ð2a+ b+ cÞ. Here, a is...
متن کاملChromatic diversity index - an approach based on natural scenes
Common descriptors of light quality fail to predict the chromatic diversity produced by the same illuminant in different contexts such as images of natural scenes. The aim of this paper was to introduce a new index, capable of predicting illuminantinduced variations in the chromatic diversity off natural scenes. The spectral reflectance of each pixel of 50 images of natural scenes obtained usin...
متن کاملDiversity, Effort, and Cooperation in Team Based Learning
Student and team performance in in sixteen sections of an introductory microeconomic theory course taught using team-based learning are analyzed to determine what measurable characteristics of teams influence outcomes. Team success on in-class quizzes and activities and team cohesiveness are modeled as a function of diversity of class level, gender, and geographic origin, previous academic perf...
متن کاملAn Improved COCOMO based Model to Estimate the Effort of Software Projects
One of important aspects of software projects is estimating the cost and time required to develop projects. Nowadays, this issue has become one of the key concerns of project managers. Accurate estimation of essential effort to produce and develop software is heavily effective on success or failure of software projects and it is highly regarded as a vital factor. Failure to achieve convincing a...
متن کاملEffort-Index-Based Software Reliability Growth Models and Performance Assessment
In this paper, we first show that the logistic testing-effort function is practically acceptable/helpful for modeling software reliability growth and providing a reasonable description of resource consumption. Therefore, in addition to the exponential-shaped models, we will integrate the logistic testing-effort function into S-shaped model for further analysis. The model is designated as the Ya...
