Whether taxometrics yields inferential knowledge to something latent is partly but not wholly a semantic question. Although the single variables are manifest indicator scores of individuals, the statistics computed from them via postulates of the formalism are not mere data summaries and will be incorrect or meaningless if the structural conjectures ...

The taxonicity of schizotypy: A replication.
Journal of Abnormal Psychology, 1995P.E. Meehl's model (1962, 1990) of schizotypy and the development of schizophrenia implies that the structure of liability for schizophrenia is dichotomous, hypothesizing that a "schizogene" determines one's membership in a latent class (or taxon; P.E. Meehl & R. R. Golden, 1982).

The Taxon Concept is Not Taxonic: Response to Grove (2008)
Psychological Reports, 2009In 2008, Grove proposed that there is a binary distinction between taxonic and nontaxonic latent variables, although causal structures which do not produce sharp category boundaries have long been recognized by Meehl and others. I argue that this position is incoherent. As soon as one admits causal mechanisms which do not yield dichotomous outcomes and

Nature, 1999
Phylogenies that include long, unbranched lineages can be difficult to reconstruct. This is because long-branch taxa (such as rapidly evolving species) may share character states by chance more often than more closely related taxa share derived character states through common ancestry1. Despite Kim's warning that added taxa can decrease accuracy2, some

Testing the dissociative taxon
Psychiatry Research, 2004A dissociative taxon has been proposed by Waller et al. (1996) to help identify individuals experiencing pathological dissociation. We studied the frequency of taxon membership and tested its validity. A total of 276 students and 204 psychiatric inpatients completed the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES).

The notions of composite taxon and of non-taxon
Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 1993Abstract Presently, for certain groups of organisms, the status of a taxon lends itself (or could lend itself) to discussion. It is not only the classic case of composite taxons and ancestral groups, but also that of new units which have been created from the cladistic analysis, which for the most part have neither a name nor a place in traditional ...

DIMENSIONAL ANALYSES OF TAXONIC DATA
Psychological Reports, 2007Principal component analysis (PCA) and common factor analysis are often used to model latent data structures. Typically, such analyses assume a single population whose correlation or covariance matrix is modelled. However, data may sometimes be unwittingly sampled from mixed populations containing a taxon (nonarbitrary subpopulation) and its complement

Religions as taxa consist of a group of adherents’ common religious knowledge and not of the religious knowledge of individuals. The beliefs and practices of individual believers, of individual adherents of a certain religion, are not decisive for the entire communication and information system “religion”, but rather the individual communities with ...

A new taxon in the genus Neisseria
Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Microbiologie, 1983Among 3,520 strains of Neisseria and Branhamella received in the laboratory during the last seven years, 13 could not be speciated. These 13 strains (Neisseria sp. group) were isolated from the throats of healthy children in Europe and Africa. The Neisseria sp. group oxidized glucose and maltose similarly to N. meningitidis.
