Presence abroad		146

04How we got this number

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.: 146
Exclusivity E From 0 (exists everywhere) to 1 (only in Brazil), on a log scale.: 0
Intensity I How much more common it is in Brazil than in the other places where it exists. No difference in prevalence found (fictional data). [1]: 0 of 4
Rarity coefficient R R = E + 0.5 × (I ÷ 4) × (1 − E) R = 0 + 0.5 × (0 ÷ 4) × (1 − 0) = 0: 0
Jabuticaba Index®: 0%
