Need to use numeric data for Jaccard coefficient

Hi,

I am tasked with using Jaccard Similarity Index on the following dput. I know that Jaccard uses binary data but I was wondering if there was a code to bypass the need to convert this data set into binary. Thanks in advance for helping me!

Hi @Terrible_Coder,
It looks like the Jaccard similarity index won't be suitable for your situation with continuous quantitative data. This link may give you other options:
