Provides two taxonomic coefficients from E. S. Smirnov
"Taxonomic analysis" (1969) book
Description
This tiny package contains one function smirnov() which
calculates two scaled taxonomic coefficients, Txy (coefficient
of similarity) and Txx (coefficient of originality). These two
characteristics may be used for the analysis of similarities
between any number of taxonomic groups, and also for assessing
uniqueness of giving taxon. It is possible to use smirnov()
output as a distance measure: convert it to distance by
"as.dist(1 - smirnov(x))".
