Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Back-to-front airplane boarding is slower than window-middle-aisle boarding?

Unclear. Several simulation and analytical studies indicate that back-to-front boarding is not the fastest strategy and that other group-based strategies, including window-middle-aisle in one model, can outperform it, but none directly and fully settles the specific comparison of back-to-front versus window-middle-aisle boarding times.
