Maximum likelihood difference scaling.

چکیده
We present a stochastic model of suprathreshold perceptual differences based on difference measurement. We develop a maximum likelihood difference scaling (MLDS) method for estimating its parameters and evaluate the reliability and distributional robustness of the fitting method. We also describe a method for testing whether the difference measurement model is appropriate as a description of human judgment of perceptual differences in any specific experimental context.

MLDS: Maximum Likelihood Difference Scaling in R
This introduction to the R package MLDS is a modified and updated version of Knoblauch and Maloney (2008) published in the Journal of Statistical Software. The MLDS package in the R programming language can be used to estimate perceptual scales based on the results of psychophysical experiments using the method of difference scaling. In a difference scaling experiment, observers compare two sup...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood difference scaling of image quality in compression-degraded images.
Lossy image compression techniques allow arbitrarily high compression rates but at the price of poor image quality. We applied maximum likelihood difference scaling to evaluate image quality of nine images, each compressed via vector quantization to ten different levels, within two different color spaces, RGB and CIE 1976 L*a*b*. In L*a*b* space, images could be compressed on average by 32% mor...
متن کاملA Bayesian Nominal Regression Model with Random Effects for Analysing Tehran Labor Force Survey Data
Large survey data are often accompanied by sampling weights that reflect the inequality probabilities for selecting samples in complex sampling. Sampling weights act as an expansion factor that, by scaling the subjects, turns the sample into a representative of the community. The quasi-maximum likelihood method is one of the approaches for considering sampling weights in the frequentist framewo...
متن کاملMultidimensional Successive Categories Scaling: a Maximum Likelihood Method
A single-step maximum likelihood estimation procedure is developed for multidimensional scaling of dissimilarity data measured on rating scales. The procedure can fit the euclidian distance model to the data under various assumptions about category widths and under two distributional assumptions. The scoring algorithm for parameter estimation has been developed and implemented in the form of a ...
متن کاملNonmetric Maximum Likelihood Multidimensional Scaling from Directional Rankings Of" Similarities
A maximum likelihood estimation procedure is developed for multidimensional scaling when (dis)similarity measures are taken by ranking procedures such as the method of conditional rank orders or the method of triadic combinations. The central feature of these procedures may be termed directionality of ranking processes. That is, rank orderings are performed in a prescribed order by successive f...
