Similarity Measures on Binary Attribute Data.

Abstract

The ability of commonly used similarity coefficients to recapture natural classifications in the presence of various types of errors is investigated by means of several computer simulations of a certain model of the classification problem. The goal is to establish the relative mertis of the phylogenetic versus the phenetic methods of classification. (Author)
