Generalizing resemblance coefficients to accommodate incomplete data

چکیده
Large ecological data matrices may be incomplete for various reasons, preventing the use of standard multidimensional scaling (ordination) and cluster analysis packages. Although there exist a few resemblance functions that allow missing scores, is no theoretical background software support most distance similarity coefficients potentially applied in multivariate analysis. We provide general framework precise mathematical redefinition large set originally developed complete sets with presence-absence (binary) or ratio-scale variables. Included are which consider double absences abundance data. Potential problems these discussed, conclusion incompleteness would rarely if ever influence greatly interpretability ordinations classifications. An R function described Appendix represents link to R. also stand-alone WINDOWS application users other computer programs. The new will packages perform using wide variety even whatever reason.

Fiber Surfaces: Generalizing Isosurfaces to Bivariate Data
Scientific visualization has many effective methods for examining and exploring scalar and vector fields, but rather fewer for bivariate fields. We report the first general purpose approach for the interactive extraction of geometric separating surfaces in bivariate fields. This method is based on fiber surfaces: surfaces constructed from sets of fibers, the multivariate analogues of isolines. ...
متن کاملGeneralizing the combinatorics of binomial coefficients via l-nomials
An l-sequence is defined by an = lan−1 − an−2, with initial conditions a0 = 0, a1 = 1. These l-sequences play a remarkable role in partition theory, allowing l-generalizations of the Lecture Hall Theorem [7, 8] and Euler’s Partition Theorem [8, 26]. These special properties are not shared with other sequences, such as the Fibonacci sequence, defined by second-order linear recurrences. The l-seq...
