Multi-method assessment of map similarity
Alex Hagen‐Zanker · 2002
This paper describes a multi-method approach to assessment of similarity of categorical maps. The assessment incorporates several newly developed comparison methods. Some are related to the Kappa statistic, others are applications of Fuzzy Set theory. By combining the methods a broad assessment of similarity will be obtained, which makes it possible to find the magnitude, nature and spatial distribution of similarity between two maps.
