Reply to the Devil's Advocates: Don't Confound Model Testing and Measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replies by E. F. Alf and N. M. Abrahams and by L. G. Rorer defend the correlation-regression approach to model testing, contending that if a priori measurements are assumed to be proper psychological values and if the correct model is known, correlations can be higher for the better model. But since psychologists cannot know in advance the correct scales and models, popular correlational techniques are inappropriate for investigating psychological processes. It is necessary to separate measurement from the evaluation of a model. A further attempt is made here to clarify the relationships between different methods of analysis.

متن کاملApplication of Model-Based Estimation to Time-Delay Estimation of Ultrasonic Testing Signals
Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...

متن کاملDesigning and evaluation of a decision support system for prediction of coronary artery disease
Introduction: Since human health is the issue of Medical Research, correct prediction of results is of a high importance. This study applies probabilistic neural network (PNN) for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD), because the PNN is stronger than other methods. Methods: In this descriptive-analytic study, The PNN method was implemented on 150 patients admitted to the Mazandaran Heart...
