In the analysis of multivariate observations designed to assess subjects with respect to an attribute, a Guttman scale (named after Louis Guttman) is a single (unidimensional) ordinal scale for the assessment of the attribute, from which the original observations may be reproduced. The discovery of a Guttman scale in data depends on their ...
The well known Guttman scale [25] [24] (example: 1111, 1121, 1131, 2131, 2231, 2232) is simply a 1-d scalogram, i.e. one all of whose profiles are comparable. The procedure of identifying and interpreting the coordinate scales X 1 ...
Later, searching for a more flexible scaling scheme, Guttman explored Partial Order Scalogram Analysis (POSA) and applied it in empirical studies. Notably, Guttman first proved several fundamental theorems in matrix algebra, as discussed in papers by Hubert, Meulman and Heiser (2000) [6] and Takane and Yanai (2005).
The Bogardus social distance scale is a cumulative scale (a Guttman scale), because agreement with any item implies agreement with all preceding items. Research by Bogardus first in 1925 and then repeated in 1946, 1956, and 1966 shows that the extent of social distancing in the US is decreasing slightly and fewer distinctions are being made ...
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 ...
jMetrik's item analysis includes proportion, point biserial, and biserial statistics for all response options. It calculates various reliability coefficients include Cronbach's alpha, Guttman's lambda and the Feldt-Gilmer Coefficient. The DIF analysis uses nonparametric item characteristic curves and the Mantel-Haenszel procedure, reporting ...
Strong allegations. The Ethics Committee report alleged that: From at least 2017 to 2020, Gaetz "regularly" paid women for sex. From 2017 to 2019, Gaetz "used or possessed illegal drugs, including ...
