Bounds of Resemblance Measures for Binary (Presence/Absence) Variables
نویسنده
چکیده
Bounds of association coefficients for binary variables are derived using the arithmetic-geometric-harmonic mean inequality. More precisely, it is shown which presence/absence coefficients are bounds with respect to each other. Using the new bounds it is investigated whether a coefficient is in general closer to either its upper or its lower bound.

On 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...
متن کاملHabitat suitability modeling of red-winged pratincole (Glareola pratincola) in Shadegan International Wetlands
The Survey of the ecological characteristics of the species and determining their habitat suitability is one of the main principles of management and conservation of wildlife species. Hence, we need methods that can help assess habitats and can estimate, over time, reduce of their quality. To understand the effects of human activities and the changes of a habitat, it is necessary to make quanti...

متن کاملFORCED WATER MAIN DESIGN MIXED ANT COLONY OPTIMIZATION
Most real world engineering design problems, such as cross-country water mains, include combinations of continuous, discrete, and binary value decision variables. Very often, the binary decision variables associate with the presence and/or absence of some nominated alternatives or project’s components. This study extends an existing continuous Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm to simultan...
متن کاملMeasures of family resemblance for binary traits: likelihood based inference.
Detection and estimation of measures of familial aggregation is considered the first step to establish whether a certain disease has genetic component. Such measures are usually estimated from observational studies on siblings, parent-offspring, extended pedigrees or twins. When the trait of interest is quantitative (e.g. Blood pressures, body mass index, blood glucose levels, etc.) efficient l...
