Worked out from Dice, L. R. "Measures of the Amount of Ecologic Association Between Species", Ecology 26(3), 297-302 - the 2|A n B|/(|A|+|B|) similarity coefficient and 4 other sources.
This is a party trick, not a measurement. The score is a letter-similarity coefficient and the FLAMES letter is a counting-out game.
For entertainment only. This has no scientific, psychological or predictive validity and must not be used to make decisions about a real relationship.
How this is worked out
5 steps
- Reduce the names to letters: "Romeo" -> romeo (5), "Juliet" -> juliet (6).
- Letters held in common (multiset intersection) = 1.
- Dice similarity = 2 x 1 / (5 + 6) = 0.181818 = 18.18%.
- Cancelling the shared letters leaves 5 - 1 + 6 - 1 = 9 letters.
- Counting out F, L, A, M, E, S 9 at a time leaves "E" = Enemy.
