Additive-Tree Representations

  • Conference paper
Trees and Hierarchical Structures

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Biomathematics ((LNBM,volume 84))

Abstract

Additive-trees are used to represent objects as “leaves” on a tree, so that the distance on the tree between two leaves reflects the similarity between the objects. Formally, an observed similarity δ is represented by a tree-distance d. As such, additive-trees belong to the descriptive multivariate statistic tradition. Additive-tree representations are useful in a wide variety of domains.

The author wishes to thank Sue Viscuso and Alice O’Toole for help and comments on previous draft.
