Note that for all simulations, the links initiating from the sources are assigned the maximum possible weight value (i.e., for similarity equal to 1) for the corresponding flow so as to encourage packet releasing towards the network.
This distribution depends on the size of the database being searched since for a given query, and everything else being equal, we can expect the maximum similarity value to increase with the database size.
It is then natural to construct a maximum similarity thresholding (MST) framework by generalizing Otsu method with the maximum-image-similarity concept.
All compound similarities were calculated using the Tanimoto coefficient (Tc) which ranges from 0, no similarity, to 1, maximum similarity.
Maximum similarity criterion is used for fingerprint pattern classification.
They reported minimum interjudge similarity of 0.69, maximum similarity 0.89, and the mean of 0.76.
A maximum similarity cutoff can also be defined.
The precision rate reaches a value of 76 % for a threshold similarity equal to 0.8.
The participants were asked to complete the rating similarity of the sentence pairs on the scale from 0.0 (minimum similarity) to 4.0 (maximum similarity).
Possible S values ranged from 0 to 1, where 1 represents the maximum similarity.
