APPLYING FUZZY THEORY TO SCORING PSYCHOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS

Applying Fuzzy Theory to Scoring Psychological Measurements

The aim of this study was to propose and validate the new scaling method, fuzzy partial credit scaling (FPCS), which combines fuzzy set theory with the partial credit model (PCM) to score rating scales. To achieve this goal, the Chinese version of BDI (Beck Depression Inventory-II) was administrated to a depressed sample of patients and a non-depressed sample. The depressed sample consisted of ...

Applying social psychological theory to the problems of group work

In the work arena, groups are a major mechanism for organizations to tackle problems that are too large or complex for individuals to solve alone. For example, modern software packages, like Microsoft's Excel tm , consist of million of lines of computer code, while a good programmer typically writes a few thousand lines of code a year (Somerville, 2001; see Boehm et al, 1995, for more precise e...

Applying fuzzy theory and genetic algorithm to interpolate precipitation

A watershed management program is usually based on the results of watershed modeling. Accurate modeling results are decided by the appropriate parameters and input data. Rainfall is the most important input for watershed modeling. Precipitation characteristics, such as rainfall intensity and duration, usually exhibit significant spatial variation, even within small watersheds. Therefore, proper...
