Availability of an on-line implementation of metric for determining similarity of sets

[Dr. Rodham E. Tulloss]

A tripartite similarity metric designed to avoid flaws in previously
existing similarity indices is now available on-line.  Instructions are
available on-line as is a link to the original paper that designed the
core mathematics of the metric (in pdf format).

Within a few days, sample uploadable datasets will be available on the
site (in both SIT and ZIP formats).  The similarity calculator will take
cut-and-paste, manual entry, or uploaded file(s) as input.  Input can be
supplied as a set of separate lists or as a presence-absence table
(e.g., a plain text format of a spreadsheet with columns as lists, rows
as items in lists).

The calculator, its instructions, etc. can be accessed from

  amanitabear.com/similarity/

The instructions alone can be accessed at

  amanitabear.com/similarity/instructions/

A bibliography of a small number of papers already known to have used
the tripartite similarity metric is also provided on the site at

  amanitabear.com/similarity/teaching_+_application/user_applications/

Sincerely,

Rod Tulloss
