Towards Meaningful Statements in IR Evaluation: Mapping Evaluation Measures to Interval Scales (2021, methodology): “Additive conjoint measurement was a new part of the measurement theory developed as a reaction to the views of Campbell [17, 18] and the conclusions of Ferguson Committee of British Association for the Advancement of Science [30], where Campbell was an influential member, which considered the additi”
Measurement Theory, Psychology and the Revolution That Cannot Happen (2009, background): “In his commentary of the publication of the last two volumes of Foundations of Measurement (Luce, Krantz, Suppes, & Tversky, 1990; Suppes, Krantz, Luce, & Tversky, 1989), Norman Cliff (1992) points out that representational measurement theory, and conjoint measurement theory in particular, had no im”
