To explain why my data are less than one, let me tell u what I do in my
experiment. My experiment is a kind a ecological survey, which involves
counting the number of different animal species in different algae species.
Since the area of algae species are varied, so I will calculate the density
instead of number of individuals.
eg 6 animal Y was found in 100cm2 algae Z
So, the data (density) that involves in the Chisq = 6/100 = 0.06, but
not 6 individuals. That's why my data are usually less than 1 due to
dividing the area.
Someone suggest me to use the Jaccard's coefficient, however, it seems that
this coefficient is not that common. Can I use the Jaccard's coefficient for
my case?
