What's this?

An approach to the scaling of categorized attributes

M. J. R. HEALY and H. GOLDSTEIN

Medical Research Council Clinical Research Centre Harrow, Middlesex

This paper shows that the notion of minimizing the disagreement between parallel assessments of the same quantity unifies a number of current methods of scaling and leads to straightforward extensions to cover new problems. Applications are found in the assessment of physical maturity, the measurement of children's behaviour, and in longitudinal studies with sets of items at several occasions.

Key Words: Canonical correlation • Maturity • Multivariate analysis • Scaling • Scalogram analysis
