Presence abroad Sum of each place's weight: widespread = 1, regional = 0.5, marginal = 0.1. Where it only exists as a Brazilian export, the weight is multiplied by 0.5.: 3.5
Exclusivity E From 0 (exists everywhere) to 1 (only in Brazil), on a log scale.: 0.67
Intensity I How much more common it is in Brazil than in the other places where it exists. Fictional prevalence ratio of 3.2 times that of Portugal. [2] Prevalence ratio: 3.2×: 2 of 4
Rarity coefficient R R = E + 0.5 × (I ÷ 4) × (1 − E) R = 0.67 + 0.5 × (2 ÷ 4) × (1 − 0.67) = 0.76: 0.76
