Similarity Matrix



http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/8/353/figure/F5A Similarity Matrix is a list of scores or numeric data that correlate the similarities between two data points or sets. Typical matrices of similarities are graded upon level of similarity, which higher scores meaning more similarity, and lower scores depicting more dissimilarity. Above is an example of a similarity matrix, which is used predominantly in the biological world, and this one is no exception. This matrix highlights any similarities between two contrasting signatures based upon a binary coding.
