Comparing Resemblance Measures∗
نویسنده
چکیده
In the paper some types of equivalences over resemblance measures and some basic results about them are given. Based on induced partial orderings on the set of unordered pairs of units a dissimilarity between two resemblance measures over finite set of units can be defined. As an example, using this dissimilarity standard association coefficients between binary vectors are compared both theoretically and computationally.

WekaBioSimilarity - Extending Weka with Resemblance Measures
The classification of organisms is a daily-basis task in biology as well as other contexts. This process is usually carried out by comparing a set of descriptors associated with each object. However, general-purpose statistical packages offer a limited number of methods to perform such a comparison, and specific tools are required for each concrete problem. Weka is a freely-available framework ...
متن کاملOn the Indeterminacy of Resemblance Measures for Binary (Presence/Absence) Data
Many similarity coefficients for binary data are defined as fractions. For certain resemblance measures the denominator may become zero. If the denominator is zero the value of the coefficient is indeterminate. It is shown that the seriousness of the indeterminacy problem differs with the resemblance measures. Following Batagelj and Bren (1995) we remove the indeterminacies by defining appropri...

One of the most intriguing aspects of hypnosis has been its ability to produce, ia the best Ss, very unusual subjective experiences. In the past decade these phenomena have been largely overlooked, as the emphasis in hypnosis research has been on the development of objective measures of suggestibility (Shor & Orne, 1962; Weitzenhoffer & Hilgard, 1959; 1962; 1963), the nature of hypnotic suggest...
