numerical taxonomy

The branch of taxonomy that uses mathematical methods to evaluate observable differences and similarities between taxonomic groups. Also called taximetrics.

numerical taxonomy (n

-m

-k

A method of taxonomy in which classification is made on the basis of a multivariate analysis of observable differences and similarities between taxonomic groups. Classifications based on numerical taxonomy reflect degrees of similarity rather than evolutionary relationships.

taximetrics			The first objective is to derive a numerical taxonomy that classifies manufacturers with similar combinations of SC capabilities into SC Strategy Groups. Development and analysis of a supply chain strategy taxonomy by Mckone-Sweet, Kathleen; Lee, Yoo-Taek / Journal of Supply Chain Management In a previous paper, we analyzed by numerical taxonomy a total of 488 strains associated with the culture of oysters and clams reared in Galicia (Guisande et al. Genotypic diversity of culturable Vibrio species associated with the ... by Guisande, Jose Antonio; Lago, Estela Perez; Prado, Susana; Nieto, Teresa Perez; Seguin, Rosa Farto / Journal of Shellfish Research ABSTRACT An improved and rapid biochemical identification of the culturable aerobic bacteria species associated with Galician oyster production was performed by the combination of numerical taxonomy and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene.
