About this title

Synopsis

This book focuses on a novel technique for determining scale estimates from paired comparisons data. Statistical models used in human judgment and scaling often rely on data reflecting underlying linear models that may not be present. This book presents a new method, TI Scaling, that utilizes L1 linear approximations and is more robust against the influence of inconsistencies in the data. The author demonstrates the sensitivity of the technique and compares it to the least squares estimates, providing multiple examples from the literature. The book concludes by emphasizing the significance of the method, particularly when dealing with data that may contain inconsistencies.
