DISCO Nets : DISsimilarity COefficients Networks
We present a new type of probabilistic model which we call DISsimilarity COefficient Networks (DISCO Nets). DISCO Nets allow us to efficiently sample from a posterior distribution parametrised by a neural network. During training, DISCO Nets are learned by minimising the dissimilarity coefficient between the true distribution and the estimated distribution. This allows us to tailor the training...
متن کاملBeta diversity as the variance of community data: dissimilarity coefficients and partitioning.
Beta diversity can be measured in different ways. Among these, the total variance of the community data table Y can be used as an estimate of beta diversity. We show how the total variance of Y can be calculated either directly or through a dissimilarity matrix obtained using any dissimilarity index deemed appropriate for pairwise comparisons of community composition data. We addressed the ques...
متن کاملDiversity and dissimilarity in lines and hierarchies
Within the multi-attribute framework of Nehring and Puppe [Econometrica, 70 (2002) 1155], hierarchies and lines represent the simplest and most fundamental models of diversity. In both cases, the diversity of any set can be recursively determined from the pairwise dissimilarities between its elements. The present paper characterizes the restrictions on the dissimilarity metric entailed by the t...
متن کاملOf beta diversity, variance, evenness, and dissimilarity
The amount of variation in species composition among sampling units or beta diversity has become a primary tool for connecting the spatial structure of species assemblages to ecological processes. Many different measures of beta diversity have been developed. Among them, the total variance in the community composition matrix has been proposed as a single-number estimate of beta diversity. In th...
متن کاملA Unified Approach for Design of Lp Polynomial Algorithms
By summarizing Khachiyan's algorithm and Karmarkar's algorithm forlinear program (LP) a unified methodology for the design of polynomial-time algorithms for LP is presented in this paper. A key concept is the so-called extended binary search (EBS) algorithm introduced by the author. It is used as a unified model to analyze the complexities of the existing modem LP algorithms and possibly, help ...
