On measures of cohesiveness under dichotomous opinions: Some characterizations of approval consensus measures
The measurement of the degree of agreement in a group has recently attracted considerable attention by researchers from various fields. In this paper we consider situations where each member of a population classifies a list of options as either “acceptable” or “non-acceptable” (as in job committees or elections by approval voting); either “agree” or “disagree” (as in polls or surveys); either ...
متن کاملCohesiveness
It is characteristic of a continuum that it be “all of one piece”, in the sense of being inseparable into two (or more) disjoint nonempty parts. By taking “part” to mean open (or closed) subset of the space, one obtains the usual topological concept of connectedness. Thus a space S is defined to be connected if it cannot be partitioned into two disjoint nonempty open (or closed) subsets – or eq...
متن کاملInvestigating Measures for Pairwise Document Similarity
The need for a more effective similarity measure is growing as a result of the astonishing amount of information being placed online. Most existing similarity measures are defined by empirically derived formulas and cannot easily be extended to new applications. We present a pairwise document similarity measure based on Information Theory, and present corpus dependent and independent applicatio...
متن کاملComparison of Distance Measures in Cluster Analysis with Dichotomous Data
The current study examines the performance of cluster analysis with dichotomous data using distance measures based on response pattern similarity. In many contexts, such as educational and psychological testing, cluster analysis is a useful means for exploring datasets and identifying underlying groups among individuals. However, standard approaches to cluster analysis assume that the variables...
متن کاملCohesiveness in promise problems
Promise problems have been introduced in 1985 by S.Even e.a. as a generalization of decision problems. Using a very general approach we study solvability and unsolvability conditions for promise problems of set families and languages. We show, that cores of unsolvability are completely determined by partitions of cohesive sets. We prove the existence of cores in unsolvable promise problems assu...
