What Do You Think You Are Measuring? A Mixed-Methods Procedure for Assessing the Content Validity of Test Items and Theory-Based Scaling [PDF]
The valid measurement of latent constructs is crucial for psychological research. Here, we present a mixed-methods procedure for improving the precision of construct definitions, determining the content validity of items, evaluating the representativeness of items for the target construct, generating test items, and analyzing items on a theoretical ...

Model for Estimation of Bounds in Digital Coding of Seabed Images [PDF]
This paper proposes the novel model for estimation of bounds in digital coding of images. Entropy coding of images is exploited to measure the useful information content of the data.

Quantum Dynamics without the Wave Function [PDF]
When suitably generalized and interpreted, the path-integral offers an alternative to the more familiar quantal formalism based on state-vectors, selfadjoint operators, and external observers.

Conspiratorial beliefs observed through entropy principles [PDF]
We propose a novel approach framed in terms of information theory and entropy to tackle the issue of conspiracy theories propagation. We start with the report of an event (such as 9/11 terroristic attack) represented as a series of individual strings of ...

Similarity measures for content-based image retrieval based on intuitionistic fuzzy set theory
In this paper, a new intuitionistic fuzzy model for images based on the HSV color histogram is proposed. The image can be treated as an Attanassov’s intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) with this new model. A new and simple calculation of similarity measurement called IFSL1 based on similarity measurement of intuitionistic fuzzy set L1 is presented.

AbstractIn the context of increasing attention on museum sustainability, this research adopts a dictionary‐based, content‐analysis approach to measure the degree of sustainability disclosed in European museum annual reports and similar documents. The analysis is carried out through the lens of institutional theory, assuming that the presence of formal ...

Information-entropic analysis of Korteweg--de Vries solitons in the quark-gluon plasma
Solitary waves propagation of baryonic density perturbations, ruled by the Korteweg--de Vries equation in a mean-field quark-gluon plasma model, are investigated from the point of view of the theory of information.

Social Connectedness and Perceived Listening Effort in Adult Cochlear Implant Users: A Grounded Theory to Establish Content Validity for a New Patient-Reported Outcome Measure [PDF]
Objectives: Individuals with hearing loss often report a need for increased effort when listening, particularly in challenging acoustic environments. Despite audiologists’ recognition of the impact of listening effort on individuals’ quality of life, there are currently no standardized clinical measures of listening effort ...

While Kolmogorov complexity is the accepted absolute measure of information content of an individual finite object, a similarly absolute notion is needed for the relation between an individual data sample and an individual model summarizing the ...

Computability and Analysis, a Historical Approach
The history of computability theory and and the history of analysis are surprisingly intertwined since the beginning of the twentieth century. For one, \'Emil Borel discussed his ideas on computable real number functions in his introduction to measure ...
