Direct linkFisher, William P., Jr. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2011
Humphry's article, "The Role of the Unit in Physics and Psychometrics," offers fundamental clarifications of measurement concepts that Fisher hopes will find a wide audience. In particular, parameterizing discrimination while preserving statistical sufficiency will indeed provide greater flexibility in accounting "for the effects of empirical…

Fisher, William P., Jr. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2008
Engelhard draws out the similarities and differences in Guttman's, Rasch's, and Mokken's perspectives on invariance in measurement. He provides a valuable model in evaluating the extent to which different measurement theories and methods serve as a basis for achieving the fundamental goals of quantification. The full extent of this point will…

Fisher, William P., Jr. – Measurement: Interdisciplinary Research and Perspectives, 2007
The American Educational Research Association (AERA) 2007 Call for Proposals points out the need for researchers in education to look beyond their usual sources to other fields that have extensive experience in relevant theories and methods. In transitioning from a response to AERA's Call for Proposals to the text of these articles on Assessing…
