The Irrelevance of Distributional Assumptions on Reaction Times in Multidimensional Scaling of Same/Different Judgment Tasks.

Storms, Gert; Delbeke, Luc

Psychometrika, v57 n4 p599-614 Dec 1992

Y. Takane and J. Sergent developed a model (MAXRT) for scaling same/different judgments and response times (RTs) simultaneously. The adequacy of the assumption that RTs are distributed log-normally is considered, and the effect of a violation of this assumption is investigated via a computer simulation. (SLD)
