Metrical Solutions for Causal Effects.
Lund, Thorleif
Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, v39 n3 p195-204 Sep 1995
Four general criteria are proposed for the choice of a metrical solution for a causal effect: (1) compatibility with the effect; (2) ease of communication; (3) lack of measurement error bias; and (4) stability across subjects and situations. These criteria are illustrated for randomized and nonrandomized designs. (SLD)
