A sequence-comparison statistic and algorithm

A. D. GORDON*

Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge

*Now at University of St Andrews.

A statistic is proposed for the comparison of ordered sequences of objects when the aim is to slot together the sequences. An algorithm is suggested for attempting to find the best pairwise fit.

Key Words: Comparison of sequences • Slotting • Stratigraphy • Transects
