摘要：In this paper some general postulates are laid down for the construction of diversity
measures and conditions for ANOVA type of analysis are investigated.
It is shown that a diversity measure called quadratic entropy introduced by
the author in 1982, applicable to both qualitative and quantitative data,
provides a general solution to both the problems posed above.
