More reliable inference for the dissimilarity index of segregation. [PDF]
Econom J, 2015 The most widely used measure of segregation is the so-called dissimilarity index. It is now well understood that this measure also reflects randomness in the allocation of individuals to units (i.e. it measures deviations from evenness, not deviations from randomness).

The Repertoire Dissimilarity Index as a method to compare lymphocyte receptor repertoires. [PDF]
BMC Bioinformatics, 2017 The B and T cells of the human adaptive immune system leverage a highly diverse repertoire of antigen-specific receptors to protect the human body from pathogens. The sequencing and analysis of immune repertoires is emerging as an important tool to understand immune responses, whether beneficial or harmful (in the case of autoimmunity).

A Generalized Index of Dissimilarity [PDF]
Demography, 1981 Abstract The index of dissimilarity can be interpreted as the ratio of the number that must be moved from cells of excess to cells of deficit to achieve even distribution. This interpretation is used to generalize the index in two directions. First, the index is made applicable to more than two groups at a time.

Bayesian inference for the dissimilarity index in the presence of spatial autocorrelation [PDF]
Spatial Statistics, 2015 The degree of segregation between two or more sub-populations has been studied since the 1950s, and examples include segregation along racial and religious lines. The Dissimilarity index is a commonly used measure to numerically quantify segregation, using population level data for a set of areal units that comprise a city or country.

GEOGRAPHICAL AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAND-USE MIXTURE AND HOME– BASED TRIP MAKING AND MORE: CASE OF RICHMOND, VIRGINIA [PDF]
Journal of Urban and Regional Analysis, 2022 Richmond, Virginia has implemented numerous mixed land-use policies to encourage non-private-vehicle commuting for decades based on the best practices of other cities and the assumption that land-use mixture would positively lead to trip reduction.

Labor Market Structure in Indonesia: Segregation or Integration of Occupations?
Jurnal Ekonomi Pembangunan: Kajian Masalah Ekonomi dan Pembangunan, 2021 This research discusses occupational segregation of workers based on gender in 2015 - 2018 in Indonesia. This study also aims to measure the level of dissimilarity or how much segregation occurs in the labor market in Indonesia. The sample data used were

Identifying Influential Edges by Node Influence Distribution and Dissimilarity Strategy
Mathematics, 2021 Identifying influential edges in a complex network is a fundamental topic with a variety of applications. Considering the topological structure of networks, we propose an edge ranking algorithm DID (Dissimilarity Influence Distribution), which is based ...
