What does SIMIL do ?
SIMIL computes resemblance measures, either for binary
(presence-absence) data, or for quantitative variables. The program
allows the user to compute any of the measures described in Chapter 6
of the
Legendre & Legendre (1983)
textbook, except for the partial
correlation coefficients. In the documentation, Table 4 lists the
available coefficients, while Tables 5 to 7 summarize the criteria that
may guide the user when choosing a coefficient. Four types of files,
whose role is explained in detail in the documentation, may be used in
conjunction with this program; the dashed arrows identify files that
are only used in connection with some of the coefficients.
