Talk:Guttman scale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
it seems that the sample guttman scale is of little use, as the first 4 categories are all such that each is implied by the subsequent (i.e. allowing immigrants next door automatically implies you'd allow them in your neighborhood [unless you're in a weird border case where nextdoor isn't in your neighborhood]).
- That's the whole point of a Guttman scale, and that is the required structure of the data. Holon 07:15, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
