A data-based classification of Slavic languages: Indices of qualitative variation applied to grapheme frequencies
The Ord’s graph is a simple graphical method for displaying frequency distributions of data or theoretical distributions in the two-dimensional plane. Its coordinates are proportions of the first three moments, either empirical or theoretical ones. A modification of the Ord’s graph based on proportions of indices of qualitative variation is presented. Such a modification makes the graph applica...
متن کاملInterpreting ecological diversity indices applied to terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism data: insights from simulated microbial communities.
Ecological diversity indices are frequently applied to molecular profiling methods, such as terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP), in order to compare diversity among microbial communities. We performed simulations to determine whether diversity indices calculated from T-RFLP profiles could reflect the true diversity of the underlying communities despite potential analytica...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
15 صفحه اولAn empirical comparison of beta diversity indices in establishing prairies.
Whittaker (1960, 1972) first proposed the idea that species diversity has spatial components, with alpha diversity estimating diversity within individual stands (or communities) and beta diversity estimating the number of community types in an area (or in Whittaker’s terminology, ‘‘differentiation of communities along gradients’’). These two values combined make up gamma diversity. Beta diversi...
متن کاملEmpirical diversity indices applied to forest communities in different successional stages.
In this paper we examine the precision of six diversity indices, four of them empirical when including in their formulae climax adaptation numbers. These numbers define the succession position of the plant species in five forest areas in Sao Paulo State. We simulated hypothetical forests and compared the results with a list of species in the five areas. Low agreement was found among the indices...
