| Abstract: | The mean measure of divergence as a means of comparing two populations on the basis of non-metric data is described. Some statistical properties of this measure are derived and it is shown that its variance has frequently been misquoted in the literature. Alternative means of comparing two populations are presented and some improvements to the measure of divergence are suggested. |
