Fuzzy Jaccard similarity approach in handling missing values for randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis

In RAPD analyses, ambiguous hands are discarded as missing values. The missing values in RAPD data add the complexity to the clustering of organisms. One way of dealing with the missing values in RAPD analyses is to tolerate the ambiguity of the bands that are considered missing. In this study, this...
