Artificial data-set as utilized in Koleff et al. 2003, and Jurasinski 2007 to study the mathematical behavior of asymmetrical similarity indices. The corresponding values of all indices computable with sim
are contained. See example!

ads.ternariesdata.frame
with the three matching components of asymmetric binary similarity measures (a, b, c)
with all possible combinations of these components derived from a virtual data-set with 100 variables (species). These are the first three columns. The preceding columns contain the values of the similarity coefficients computable with sim
according to the three matching components. This information can be used to study the mathematical behavior of the indices. See example

##take any index you want to study, see the help for sim() for available
##asymmetric indices or the names of the data.frame:
names(ads.ternaries)
##make a tmp from the index you want to study (we perform a transformation
##to obtain values between 0 and 1). if you want another index,
##just change the name in the next line:
tmp <- ads.ternaries$mountford
tmp <- (tmp-min(tmp))/max(tmp)
triax.plot(ads.ternaries[,c(2,3,1)], main="mountford",
col.symbols=grey(seq(0.1,1,0.1))[floor((tmp*100)/5)+1], pch=16)
##don't wonder: mountford is strange, just try another one:
##this time with rainbow-colors
tmp <- ads.ternaries$soerensen
tmp <- (tmp-min(tmp))/max(tmp)
triax.plot(ads.ternaries[,c(2,3,1)], main="sørensen",
col.symbols=rainbow(10)[floor((tmp*100)/10)+1], pch=16)
##and an interesting shape: routledge in greyscale...
tmp <- ads.ternaries$routledge
tmp <- (tmp-min(tmp))/max(tmp)
triax.plot(ads.ternaries[,c(2,3,1)], main="routledge",
col.symbols=grey(seq(0.1,1,0.1))[floor((tmp*100)/5)+1], pch=16)
