Proposal for an index to evaluate dichotomous keys

چکیده
Dichotomous keys are the most popular type of identification keys. Studies have been conducted to evaluate dichotomous keys in many aspects. In this paper we propose an index for quantitative evaluation of dichotomous keys (Edicho). The index is based on the evenness and allows comparing identification keys of different sizes.

Automatic Classification of Lobed Simple and Unlobed Simple Leaves for Plant Identification
Commonly, classic plant identification methods use dichotomous or multi-access keys that compare characteristics of the leaves, asking if they are lobed, unlobed, simple or compound, among others leaf features. However, in the literature very little attention has been paid to make an automatic distinction of leaves using such features. In this paper, we contribute to fill this gap. We propose a...
متن کاملDichotomous multi-type games with a coalition structure
This work focuses on the evaluation of the voting power in dichotomous multi-type games endowed with a coalition structure (DMGCs). Dichotomous multi-type games have been introduced by Courtin et al. [2015] in order to generalize simple game. They modelize game in which there are a number of non-ordered types of support in the input, while the output is dichotomous, i.e. the proposal is accepte...

متن کاملIntroducing a Non-Dichotomous Method for Scoring Selected-Response Tests
The main purpose of this study was to introduce a new non-dichotomous scoring procedure for the multiple-choice test method, called Parledge. The research also aimed to determine Parledge characteristics through a psychometric study comparing it with the “Number Correct” and “Correction for Guessing” scoring methods.

متن کاملComposite Group-Keys - Space-Efficient Indexing of Multiple Columns for Compressed In-Memory Column Stores
Real world applications make heavy use of composite keys to reference entities. Indices over multiple columns are therefore mandatory to achieve response time goals of applications. We describe and evaluate the Composite Group-Key Index for fast tuple retrieval via composite keys from the compressed partition of in-memory column-stores with a main/delta architecture. Composite Group-Keys work d...
