A comparison of two scaling procedures in paired-comparison experiments involving ties
… is made of the arc sine and normal curve scaling procedures in paired comparisons involving ties. This is done by applying both methods to data from to important fields of application. Comparisons are also made on several series of hypothetical data. The criterion of comparison is the …

An investigation of Multidimensional Scaling with an emphasis on the development of an R based Graphical User Interface for performing Multidimensional Scaling procedures
… language, for performing Multidimensional Scaling. This program is called the MDS-GUI. Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) is one of the groups of multivariate analysis techniques that is used for dimension reduction. In general, these methods of MDS can be viewed as the problem of constructing …

Political participation and involvement: a study in concept construction and measurement
… cluster analysis, factor analysis, and guttman scaling procedures. The methodological results were inconclusive. There was, however, evidence of the existence of two dimensions of Political Involvement. The writer labeled the first dimension "Psychological Readiness for Participation." It was …

Regression Models for Paired Comparisons
… framework in which the vast majority of extant scaling procedures for paired comparisons can be cast. The framework is based on the Generalized Linear Mixed Model (GLMM) and it characterizes paired comparison models according to four characteristics, taken in order: (1) the response format, (2) …

Predicting social unrest events in South Africa using LSTM neural networks
… conducted, and in these experiments, features, scaling procedures and model configurations are varied (i.e. univariate and multivariate models). Multivariate LSTM achieved the lowest forecast errors and performance improved as more explanatory features were introduced. The ARIMA model's …

Preferred levels of image sharpness and their relation to image structure in thermal dye transfer prints
… were developed using two different indirect scaling techniques, paired comparison and rank ordering, for three groups of participants (novice photographers, advanced amateur photographers, and Kodak image quality experts). Differences between scales developed through the separate scaling …

The impact of product familiarity on the price-perceived quality relationship
… were collected using both magnitude and category scaling procedures. The degree to which variations in the independent variable resulted in variations in responses were compared for the three differentially familiar groups to assess support for the hypotheses. In general, there is a great deal of …

Seismic Performance Assessment of Wood-Frame Shear Wall Structures
… different Rayleigh damping models. Ground motion scaling methods, source-to-site distance, and peak intensity levels are the selected variations in ground characteristic group. To assist with the ground motion scaling procedures, a computational toolkit is created to produce amplitude and spectrum …

In-situ study of the influence of additives on the growth behavior of copper electrodeposits on copper single crystal
… analyzed by pattern-recognition and scaling procedures.</p><p>In the absence of additives, copper deposits grew in a layer-by-layer mode from the earliest stage of deposition. The surface consisted of smooth terraces separated by steps. The scaling analysis result was consistent with …
