Abstract
|
|
|
|
| In this short note we recall the history and definition of the repeat rate, also known as the Hirschman-Herfindahl index or as the Simpson index, and show that its generalization to a measure that includes disparity between items, known as the Rao-Stirling index, or a monotone transformation of it, is an acceptable diversity measure which, however, does not meet the 'monotonicity of balance' requirement. |
