Hi there,
This is a question to the old timers and software developers as well as
current practitioners (AKA everybody)....
What happened to measures of ringyness that were used in early (SLoS)
analyses? Justin de Syllas' 1981 thesis refers to relative ringyness or R.R.
otherwise known as distributedness. When and why was this measure abandoned
or not implemented in the software? Was it found to be unreliable, replaced
by another measure that measured the same thing, not found to correlate
statistically with any experimental observations? Or another more prosaic
reason? I would love to know what happened to it, and also the use of A,B,C
and D space classifications. So if any current practitioners or software
developers are using or have implemented any of these measures in their
software or practice I would love to know.
Kind regards,
Erica Calogero.
EngD student.
