Qualitative ordinal scales: the concept of ordinal range [PDF]
Quality Engineering, 2004 Many practical problems of quality control involve the use of ordinal scales. Questionnaires planned to collect judgments on qualitative or linguistic scales, whose levels are terms such as "good," "bad," "medium," etc., are extensively used both in ...

Meaningful aggregation functions mapping ordinal scales into an ordinal scale: a state of the art [PDF]
Aequationes mathematicae, 2009 We present an overview of the meaningful aggregation functions mapping ordinal scales into an ordinal scale. Three main classes are discussed, namely order invariant functions, comparison meaningful functions on a single ordinal scale, and comparison ...

Measure and integral with purely ordinal scales [PDF]
Journal of Mathematical Psychology, 2004 We develop a purely ordinal model for aggregation functionals for lattice valued functions, comprising as special cases quantiles, the Ky Fan metric and the Sugeno integral. For modeling findings of psychological experiments like the reflection effect in decision behaviour under risk or uncertainty, we introduce reflection lattices.

The Impact of Ordinal Scales on Gaussian Mixture Recovery [PDF]
Behavior Research Methods, 2022 AbstractGaussian mixture models (GMMs) are a popular and versatile tool for exploring heterogeneity in multivariate continuous data. Arguably the most popular way to estimate GMMs is via the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm combined with model selection using the Bayesian information criterion (BIC).

A Comparison of Reliability Coefficients for Ordinal Rating Scales [PDF]
Journal of Classification, 2021 AbstractKappa coefficients are commonly used for quantifying reliability on a categorical scale, whereas correlation coefficients are commonly applied to assess reliability on an interval scale. Both types of coefficients can be used to assess the reliability of ordinal rating scales. In this study, we compare seven reliability coefficients for ordinal

Applying Rasch analysis to evaluate and enhance the Academic Motivation Scale
Australian Journal of Psychology, 2021 Objective The 28-item Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) is a widely used measure of students’ motivation to learn but it has the common limitations of an ordinal scale such as low precision and unsuitability for parametric statistics.

Ordinal outcome analysis improves the detection of between-hospital differences in outcome
BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2021 Background There is a growing interest in assessment of the quality of hospital care, based on outcome measures. Many quality of care comparisons rely on binary outcomes, for example mortality rates.

Meaningful comparisons with ordinal-scale items
Collabra: Psychology, 2021 Ordinal-scale items---say items that assess agreement with a proposition on an ordinal rating scale from *strongly disagree* to *strongly agree*---are exceedingly popular in psychological research. A common research question concerns the comparison of response distributions on ordinal-scale items across conditions.

Nash Bargaining in Ordinal Environments [PDF]
, 2008 We analyze the implications of Nash’s (1950) axioms in ordinal bargaining environments; there, the scale invariance axiom needs to be strenghtened to take into account all order-preserving transformations of the agents’ utilities.

Aggregation on Finite Ordinal Scales by Scale Independent Functions [PDF]
Order, 2004 In this article, three types of scale-independent functions aggregating finite ordinal numerical scales are studied. These are (1) functions mapping \(n\) copies of a scale into the very scale, (2) functions mapping \(n\) copies of a scale into a scale, and (3) functions mapping \(n\) scales into a scale.
