SOURCES OF SCORE SCALE INCONSISTENCY

Towards Large-Scale Inconsistency Measurement

We investigate the problem of inconsistency measurement on large knowledge bases by considering stream-based inconsistency measurement, i. e., we investigate inconsistency measures that cannot consider a knowledge base as a whole but process it within a stream. For that, we present, first, a novel inconsistency measure that is apt to be applied to the streaming case and, second, stream-based ap...

Reducing Inconsistency in Integrating Data From Different Sources

One of the main problems in integrating databases into a common repository is the possible inconsistency of the values stored in them, i.e., the very same term may have different values, due to misspelling, a permuted word order, spelling variants and so on. In this paper, we present an automatic method for reducing inconsistency found in existing databases, and thus, improving data quality. Al...

The relationship of scale reliability and validity to respondent inconsistency

The relationship of reliability and validity estimates for personality scales to respondent inconsistency measured on a separate scale was investigated. Scale reliabilities were larger when estimated using the most consistent respondents. Validity of conscientiousness as a predictor of GPA was higher in groups composed of more consistent respondents. PRESS PARAGRAPH Respondent inconsistency has...

Correlation of Social Network Attributes with Individuals’ Score on Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale
