Why is tanimoto index an appropriate choice for fingerprintbased.
Analysis in some case, each attribute is binary such that each bit represents the absence of presence of a characteristic, thus, it is better to determine the similarity via the overlap, or intersection, of the sets. It is natural, then, to identify statistically significant jaccard tanimoto coefficients, which suggest nonrandom cooccurrences of species. Thus it equals to zero if there are no intersecting elements and equals to one if all elements intersect. Example of calculation of the tanimoto coefficient sta, b, where a 101101. The variable c is the number of features or onbits in binary fingerprint common in both compounds, while a and b are the number of features that are unique in one or the other compound, respectively. I would imagine you would tanimotos when you have a mixed vector that has some continuous valued parts and some binary valued parts. Biological effects and thus also similarity of effects are usually quantified using the biological activity. Tanimoto score is used for vectors that can take on continuous values. This enables the researcher to avoid the cost of experimentally testing hundreds or thousands of compounds by reducing the number of candidate molecules to be tested to manageable numbers.
