Refining aggregation operations in finite ordinal scales
We discuss how to aggregate multiple criteria evaluations belonging to qualitative, linearly ordered scales. Qualitative aggregation operations such as min or max can be refined by discrimin and leximin orderings, in agreement with the Pareto ordering of vector evaluations. Further refinements of discrimin orderings, as well as the generalization of discrimin and lexirnin to functions other tha...
متن کاملQualitative Ordinal Scales: The Concept of Ordinal Range
Many practical problems of quality control involve the use of ordinal scales. Questionnaires planned to collect judgments on qualitative or linguistic scales, whose levels are terms such as ‘‘good,’’ ‘‘bad,’’ ‘‘medium,’’ etc., are extensively used both in evaluating service quality and in visual controls for manufacturing industry. In an ordinal environment, the concept of distance between two ...
متن کاملOrdinal regression models for continuous scales.
Ordinal regression analysis is a convenient tool for analyzing ordinal response variables in the presence of covariates. In this paper we extend this methodology to the case of continuous self-rating scales such as the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) used in pain assessment, or the Linear Analog Self-Assessment (LASA) scales in quality of life studies. These scales measure subjects' perception of an ...
متن کاملMeasure and integral with purely ordinal scales
We develop a purely ordinal model for aggregation functionals for lattice valued functions, comprising as special cases quantiles, the Ky Fan metric and the Sugeno integral. For modeling findings of psychological experiments like the reflection effect in decision behaviour under risk or uncertainty, we introduce reflection lattices. These are complete linear lattices endowed with an order rever...
متن کاملPatient Reported Outcomes: misinference from ordinal scales?
Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) are widely used in medical outcome studies, and usually take the form of administered of self-completed questionnaires. The data that these questionnaires produce is of the type known as ordinal scaling, where magnitudes of the attribute may be ascertained. At the same time, most outcome studies rely on the calculation of means, standard deviations, change score...
