Suppose that you are comparing how similar two organisms of different species are in terms of the number of genes they share. Describe which measure, Hamming or Jaccard, you think would be more appropriate for comparing the genetic makeup of two organisms. Explain. (Assume that each animal is represented as a binary vector, where each attribute is 1 if a particular gene is present in the organism and 0 otherwise.)
This exercise compares and contrasts some similarity and distance measures.
Jaccard is more appropriate for comparing the genetic makeup of two
organisms; since we want to see how many genes these two organisms
share.
