Limited Information Estimation and Testing of Thurstonian Models for Paired Comparison Data Under Multiple Judgment Sampling [PDF]

Psychometrika, 2001
We relate Thurstonian models for paired comparisons data to Thurstonian models for ranking data, which assign zero probabilities to all intransitive patterns. We also propose an intermediate model for paired comparisons data that assigns nonzero probabilities to all transitive patterns and to some but not all intransitive patterns.There is a close ...

A comparative study of the physical and elastic properties of new generation elastomeric ligatures with conventional elastomeric ligatures

Journal of Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, 2015
Context: One of the most common methods of securing arch wires to orthodontic brackets is the application of elastomeric ligatures. New generation elastomeric ligatures were introduced to overcome the disadvantages of force decay and staining in ...
