Dramatic impact of metric choice on biogeographical regionalization
Plant Diversity, 2020 For a quantitative biogeographical regionalization, the choice of an appropriate dissimilarity index to measure pairwise distances is crucial. Several different metrics have been used, but there is no specific study to test the impact of metric choice on

The Dissimilarity Index Was Never Compositionally Invariant
, 2023 The prevailing view is that White/Black segregation has experienced modest declines in recent decades, while White/Hispanic and White/Asian segregation have remained stable. This consensus is based on the assumption that segregation measures, such as the ubiquitous dissimilarity index, are free of systematic bias on city compositions, a property known ...

Medical Images Registration based on Normalized Dissimilarity Index [PDF]
Journal of Computer Science, 2017 El registro de imágenes es un paso esencial en una gran cantidad de cadenas de procesamiento de imágenes médicas. Se utiliza para alinear dos imágenes tomadas en diferentes momentos y también desde diferentes sensores. En este documento, nos interesan las medidas rígidas de registro y similitud.

A theory-informed emotion regulation variability index: Bray-Curtis dissimilarity
, 2023 We propose Bray-Curtis dissimilarity as a theory-informed ER variability index. We demonstrate its sensitivity in detecting ER variability with simulation studies.

Node Dissimilarity Index for Complex Network Analysis
CoRR, 2023 We propose a principal component analysis (PCA)-based approach to quantify (the node dissimilarity index, NDI) the extent of dissimilarity among nodes in a network with respect to values incurred for a suite of node-level metrics (like centrality metrics).

Hill-based dissimilarity indices and null models for analysis of microbial community assembly
Microbiome, 2020 Background High-throughput amplicon sequencing of marker genes, such as the 16S rRNA gene in Bacteria and Archaea, provides a wealth of information about the composition of microbial communities.
