  2. Values scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Values_scale

    Based on Spranger's (1928) view that understanding the individual's value philosophy best captures the essence of a person, Allport and his colleagues, Vernon and Lindzey, created the Allport-Vernon-Lindzey Study of Values. The values scale outlined six major value types: theoretical (discovery of truth), economic (what is most useful ...

  3. Scale analysis (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_analysis_(statistics)

    The item-total correlation approach is a way of identifying a group of questions whose responses can be combined into a single measure or scale. This is a simple approach that works by ensuring that, when considered across a whole population, responses to the questions in the group tend to vary together and, in particular, that responses to no individual question are poorly related to an ...

  4. Scale (social sciences) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(social_sciences)

    What types of statistical analysis would be useful? Choose to use a comparative scale or a non-comparative scale. [4] How many scale divisions or categories should be used (1 to 10; 1 to 7; −3 to +3)? [5] Should there be an odd or even number of divisions? (Odd gives neutral center value; even forces respondents to take a non-neutral position ...

  5. Rokeach Value Survey - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rokeach_Value_Survey

    The Rokeach Value Survey (RVS) is a values classification instrument. Developed by social psychologist Milton Rokeach , the instrument is designed for rank-order scaling of 36 values, including 18 terminal and 18 instrumental values. [ 1 ]

  6. Analytic hierarchy process – car example - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytic_hierarchy_process...

    From the Fundamental Scale, 1 expresses that A and B are equally preferred, 3 that the better of the pair is moderately preferred to the worse, 5 that the better is strongly preferred, 7 that the better is very strongly preferred, and 9 that the better is extremely preferred to the worse. Intensities 2, 4, 6, and 8 express intermediate values.

  7. Statistical data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_data_type

    For example, count data requires a different distribution (e.g. a Poisson distribution or binomial distribution) than non-negative real-valued data require, but both fall under the same level of measurement (a ratio scale). Various attempts have been made to produce a taxonomy of levels of measurement.

  8. Level of measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_measurement

    Level of measurement or scale of measure is a classification that describes the nature of information within the values assigned to variables. [1] Psychologist Stanley Smith Stevens developed the best-known classification with four levels, or scales, of measurement: nominal , ordinal , interval , and ratio .

  9. Scale parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_parameter

    Special cases of distributions where the scale parameter equals unity may be called "standard" under certain conditions. For example, if the location parameter equals zero and the scale parameter equals one, the normal distribution is known as the standard normal distribution, and the Cauchy distribution as the standard Cauchy distribution.
