Dissimilarity Measures for Unconstrained Sorting Data
Burton, Michael L.
Multivariate Behavioral Research, 10, 4, 409-23, Oct 75
Three dissimilarity measures for the unconstrained sorting task are investigated. All three are metrics, but differ in the kind of compensation which they make for differences in the sizes of cells within sortings. Empirical tests of the measures are done with sorting data for occupations names and the names of behaviors, using multidimensional scaling. (Author/RC)
