BioGuide provides you with many ways
of sorting the paths.
Click on the "Sort" main item and choose
- The order (decreasing or increasing)
- The operation used to rank the paths:
- Weighted Sum.
If ai (resp. lj) is the value of the source-entity i (resp. the link j)
for the chosen preference criterion (e.g. Reliability, Completeness...), then
the value of preference for the whole path
is computed as (a1 + ... + an + l1 + ... + lm)/(n+m) .
- Best Source-entity.
The whole path has the value of the
source-entity having the highest value in the path.
- First Source-entity.
The whole path has the value
of the first source-entity in the path.
