Methods and Practices of Combining Multiple Scoring Systems

چکیده
Combination methods have been investigated as a possible means to improve performance in multi-variable (multi-criterion or multi-objective) classification, prediction, learning, and optimization problems. In addition, information collected from multi-sensor or multi-source environment also often needs to be combined to produce more accurate information, to derive better estimation, or to make more knowledgeable decisions. In this chapter, we present a method, called Combinatorial Fusion Analysis (CFA), for analyzing combination and fusion of multiple scoring. CFA characterizes each Scoring system as having included a Score function, a Rank function, and a Rank/score function. Both rank combination and score combination are explored as to their combinatorial complexity and computational efficiency.

Introducing a Non-Dichotomous Method for Scoring Selected-Response Tests
The main purpose of this study was to introduce a new non-dichotomous scoring procedure for the multiple-choice test method, called Parledge. The research also aimed to determine Parledge characteristics through a psychometric study comparing it with the “Number Correct” and “Correction for Guessing” scoring methods. There were 35 students participating in the study who were given a vocabulary ...
متن کاملGuessing in Multiple Choice Questions: Challenges and Strategies
Introduction: Guessing is one of the most challenging issues in multiple choice questions. Several strategies, such as negative scoring, have been suggested for preventing students from choosing the right answer just by chance. However, there is no general agreement on using such strategies. The aim of this study was to review the scoring methods which are used for reducing guessing, and evalua...
متن کاملA simple approach to multiple attribute decision making using loss functions
Multiple attribute decision making (MADM) methods are very much essential in all fields of engineering, management and other areas where limited alternatives exist and the decision maker has to select the best alternative. Different methods are available in the literature to tackle the MADM problems. The MADM problems are classified as scoring methods, compromising methods and concordance metho...

متن کاملEffect of education on the knowledge and attitude of intensive care unit staff towards the use of predictive disease severity scoring systems
Background and Purpose: Severity of illness scoring systems is used for the classification of patients to receive medical services, predict the risk of mortality, determine hospital bed occupancy, and assess treatment progress. In Iran, these scoring systems are not frequently used due to the lack of knowledge of medical staff. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of education on the knowl...
