Perhaps you should check out the mesa site at U Chicago,

studied psychophysical scaling, have read Likert, Thurstone, and Guttman's
original papers, and learned from another classic text, Guilford, 1954. Of

Hi,
Would anyone tell me or point some websites that I can learn how
to do some simple simulations, either by software or computer
language (Basic preferred).
One of such simple simulations is:

E are 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% respectiv

about stimuli ... but people ... people have attitudes ... stimulus objects

old?) book on this topic ... he quotes thurstone (paraphrasing)

The methods of attitude scale construction have gone full circle it seems.
The original work (Thurstone) evolved out of psychophysical scaling where
the stimuli were scaled first. Then came Likert with summated rating scales
that were much easier to construct because the items did not have to be

Mike,
In the bivariate case, regression and correlation are identical. Assuming
you want to select one of your proxy measures to use in place of the
expensive 'true" measure, run the regression models--"true" measure
regressed on each of the "different techniques". The r's that you will get

I have data that measures light intensity with a number of different
techniques. One of the measurements (a direct measurement and "true"
measurement of light intensity) involves lots of time, labor, and expense.
The other techniques are more practical in the sense of time and labor, but

1. The Numerical Recipes code is of very doubtful quality.
2. The Applied Statistics code in Statlib is generally still
useful.
3. The dcdflib and randlib code at

is very useful. This is what we use in

Clay,
I was working on something like that a few years ago. Some SAS code for a
probability calculator that I wanted to convert to C. Although I invested a
lot of time in the project, I abandoned it because of the difficulty with
finding algorithms for the probability functions. At that time, C

no ... there is more stuff more recently ... perhaps the reason why there
is not a 'wealth' of stuff is that the basic process for building attitude
scales has been known for a long time ... not too much 'modern' folks can add

Hi Tom,
There are other up-to-date books such as Summative rating scale by Paul
Spector in 1997 (SAGE) or books by Ajzen & Fishbein.

It rather sounds as though data are already in hand, rather than yet to
be collected. That being the case, as I shall assume, your 2nd model has
half the data that your 1st model has, and it is not clear whether this
reflects the discarding of half the available data, or the averaging

Dear members of the list,
Could someone tell me:
Is there any "special" calculator for basic maths (addition, multiplication,
squareroot, trigon. functions...) for blind persons?
How can we find informations on that?

Hello everybody!
Sorry for the long post. I'm not sure if this is the right
place to ask such a question, but here it goes. I've got some
doubts in the use of appropriate planned comparisons.
The problem is that the topic is quite new for me and the
literature does not help a lot (I could not
