Addressing Traceability in Social Measurement Establishing a Common Metric for Dependence

چکیده

Abstract Measurement in the social sciences is typically characterized by a multitude of instruments that are assumed to measure same concept but lack comparability. Underdeveloped conceptual theories fail expose measurement mechanism one reason for incommensurable measurements. Without such measurements cannot be linked fundamental reference as required metrological traceability. However, traditional concepts can extended allowing direct links between different instruments, so-called crosswalks. In this regard, Rasch Theory proves particularly useful it facilitates co-calibration onto common metric. The example nicotine dependence through self-report serves showcase problems and how they overcome contributing traceability sciences.

A Method for Establishing e-Traceability to NIST High-Dose Measurement Standards

A method for establishing electronic traceability, or e-traceability, of customer measurements to NIST high-dose measurement standards through the use of a measurement conversion factor (MCF) for Bruker e-scan instruments has been developed. The intent is that this factor will be incorporated into an Internet-based transfer dosimetry system, while still maintaining a reasonable and acceptable u...

A common cortical metric for spatial, temporal, and social distance.

Distance describes more than physical space: we speak of close friends and distant relatives, and of the near future and distant past. Did these ubiquitous spatial metaphors arise in language coincidentally or did they arise because they are rooted in a common neural computation? To address this question, we used statistical pattern recognition techniques to analyze human fMRI data. First, a ma...
