Beschreibung:
Can taxometric procedures be used to distinguish types (species, latent classes, taxa) from continua (dimensions, latent traits, factors); and, if so, how? Aimed at demystifying this process, Waller and Meehl unpack Meehl's work on the MAXCOV-HITMAX procedure to reveal the underlying rationale of MAXCOV in simple terms and show how this technique can be profitably used in a variety of disciplines by researchers in their taxonomic work.
Explains co-author Paul E. Meehl's work on the MAXCOV-HITMAX procedures to reveal the underlying rationale of MAXCOV in simple terms and show how this technique can be used in a variety of disciplines by researchers in their taxonomic work. Begins with discussion of the misconceptions concerning the psychometric and philosophical status of taxonic
