Health Measurement Scales: Methodological Issues
Health scales or indices are composite tools aiming to measure a variety of clinical conditions, behaviors, attitudes and beliefs that are difficult to be measured quantitatively. During the past years, these tools have been extensively used in cardiovascular disease prevention. The already proposed scales have shown good ability in assessing individual characteristics, but had moderate predict...
متن کاملMeasurement Scales
There are many different types of information and ways in which this information may be categorised and represented as data. Although a number of different schemes for representing data have been proposed that utilise a variety of categories and sub-divisions (see, for example, Agresti and Finlay, 1997; Barford, 1985; Harris, 1999; Lindsey, 1995; Sarle, 1995; Verzani, 2005), in this chapter I w...

متن کاملMeasurement Scales in Natural Language
The meaning of a wide variety of natural language expressions can be stated in terms of degrees on scales. This paper provides an overview of the contribution of scales to linguistic meaning. I discuss the ontology of scales, survey the role of scalarity within and across languages, and summarize recent research into the linguistically relevant features of scales, organizing these findings into...
متن کاملMeasurement scales on the continuum.
In a seminal article in 1946, S. S. Stevens noted that the numerical measures then in common use exhibited three admissible groups of transformations: similarity, affine, and monotonic. Until recently, it was unclear what other scale types are possible. For situations on the continuum that are homogeneous (that is, objects are not distinguishable by their properties), the possibilities are esse...
