How do you calculate "dispersion"? #38

Hi singscore team,

Thanks for sharing this useful tool! Brilliant work!

I would like to know how you calculate dispersion. Is it possible to give me a brief introduction or share with me some tutorials? Or it is just like alpha diversity?

Any advice would be highly appreciated! Thanks.

Kind regards, Birong

Hi Birong,

We calculate it by computing the median absolute deviation of ranks. This is detailed in the original publication https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-018-2435-4.
