Schonemann, Peter H.; Wang, Ming Mei – Psychometrika, 1972
A model for the analysis of paired comparison data is presented which is metric, mathematically tractable, and has an exact algebraic solution. (Authors/MB)

Schonemann, Peter H. – Psychometrika, 1972
Paper shows that an obvious generalization of the subjective metrics model by Bloxom, Horan, Carroll and Chang has a very simple algebraic solution which was previously considered by Meredith in a different context. (Author)

Young, Forrest W.; Cliff, Norman – Psychometrika, 1972
A metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure based on computer-subject interaction is developed, and an experiment designed to validate the procedure is presented. (Author)

Reckase, Mark D.; McKinley, Robert L. – 1982
This paper reviews the existing multidimensional item response theory (IRT) models and demonstrates how one of the models can be applied to estimation of abilities from a test measuring more than one dimension. The purposes of this paper were threefold. First, the fundamental concepts required when considering multidimensional models for the…

Sherman, Charles R. – Psychometrika, 1972
Results provide a first step toward the establishment of guidelines for the experimenter who wishes to use nonmetric multidimensional scaling effectively, especially when an underlying configuration is hypothesized. (Author)
