Table 3.

Weighting procedure of the atomic similarities (Appendix)

Weights BN MN MN/BN BN/MN FN DB
Case 1
A(MN) = {0} and B(MN) = {0} then
 If aS (BN) <T or aS (FN) <T then 2/4 - - - 1/4 1/4
Else 2/6 - - - 1/6 3/6

Case 2
A(MN)! = {0} and B(MN) = {0}
(1) If aS (MN/BN) <aS (BN) then
 If aS (BN) <T or aS (FN) <T then 2/4 - - - 1/4 1/4
Else 2/6 - - - 1/6 3/6
(*) Else 1/6 - 1/6 - 1/6 3/6

Case 3
B(MN)! = {0} and A(MN) = {0}, switch A and B and go to (1)

Case 4
A(MN)! = {0} and B(MN)! = {0}
 If aS (BN/MN) <aS (BN) and aS (MN/BN) <aS (MN) then 2/7 1/7 - - 1/7 3/7
 If aS (BN/MN) >aS (BN) and aS (MN/BN) <aS (MN) then 1/7 1/7 - 1/7 1/7 3/7
 If aS (BN/MN) < aS(BN) and aS (MN/BN) >aS (MN) then 1/7 1/7 1/7 - 1/7 3/7
 If aS (BN/MN) >aS (BN) and aS (MN/BN) >aS (MN) then 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 1/8 3/8
