For instance, based on linguistic analysis, thesimilaritycoefficientbetween elements ' ' telephone' ' and ' ' phone' ' from the two hypothetical schemas could be 0,7.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Cupid does not find asimilaritycoefficientbetween the nodes under consideration, due to the significant differences in structure of the given graphs.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Cupid correctly processes this situation, and as a result thesimilaritycoefficientbetween labels at the given nodes equals 0,8.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Both names also seesimilaritycoefficient, index, and other such variations.
From
Wikipedia
The scalar "r" has many names in the literature including; the "ratio of similarity", the "stretching factor" and the "similaritycoefficient".
From
Wikipedia
In some implementations, the distance metric is required instead ofsimilaritycoefficient.
From
Wikipedia
Simple scaling operations can change the monotone ordering according to size of the (dis)similarity coefficients and, hence, affect what clusters the analysis produces.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In order to convert the output of abovesimilaritycoefficientto distance metric, the output can be subtracted from any constant value (like the maximum possible output value).
From
Wikipedia
Similarity coefficients usually measure the closeness between the two elements linguistically and structurally.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Cupid implements a complicated hybrid match algorithm comprising linguistic and structural schema-matching techniques, and computes normalised similarity coefficients with the assistance of a precompiled thesaurus.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Similarity coefficients ranging from 0.95 to 1.00 (data not shown) were obtained with the pairs of tests indicating that each method had excellent intra- and inter-gel reproducibility.
