Abstract Measurement Theory
Measurement: The theory of numerical assignments
Measurement: The theory of numerical assignments
In this article we review some generalizations of classical theories of measurement for concatenation (e.g., mass or length) and conjoint structures (e.g., momentum of mass-velocity pairs or loudness of intensity-frequency pairs). The earlier results on additive representations are briefly surveyed. Generalizations to nonadditive structures are outlined, and their more complex uniqueness results are described. The latter leads to a definition of …
Scales and meaningfulness of quantitative laws
A Critical Examination of The Analysis of Dichotomous Data
This paper takes a critical look at theory-free, statistical methodologies for processing and interpreting data taken from respondents answering a set of dichotomous (yes-no) questions. The basic issue concerns to what extent theoretical conclusions based on such analyses are invariant under a class of “informationally equivalent” question transformations. First the notion of Boolean equivalence of two question sets is discussed. Then Lazarsfeld'…
A qualitative equivalent to the relativistic addition law for velocities
Measurement Without Archimedean Axioms
Axiomatizations of measurement systems usually require an axiom—called an Archimedean axiom —that allows quantities to be compared. This type of axiom has a different form from the other measurement axioms, and cannot—except in the most trivial cases—be empirically verified. In this paper, representation theorems for extensive measurement structures without Archimedean axioms are given. Such structures are represented in measurement spaces that a…
