PETER DUNN-RANKIN – SCALING METHODS (2ND ED.)

Scaling methods can be used. Professionals in the behavioral sciences analyze data that comes from subjective responses. Other books look at the psychometrician’s view of measurement. The focus of the book is on effective ways to analyze data rather than the mathematical details of how each program works. The majority of data analysis problems are handled by the methods included. There is an example, a real-world application, and a computer solution in each chapter.

The major uni- and multi-dimensional scaling method techniques are introduced in this book. The methods of data collection are ordered, categorical rating, free clustering, and similarity judgments. The second edition of scaling methods. Explains how data can be represented in ways that show relationships and reveal underlying structures. Readers can choose from a variety of easy-to-use procedures and more advanced techniques when using each method. There is a new chapter on order analysis in the new edition, as well as SAS supported demonstrations of multi-dimensional scaling techniques, plus programs to get raw data into matrix form.

The text is written for researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in education and the social and behavioral sciences who are interested in analyzing data resulting from subjective responses, especially in the measurement of attitudes. This is an excellent resource for use in the classroom or as a self-study tool because each chapter is self-contained. It’s a good idea to take a first course in statistics.
