Abstract
Proponents of numerical conjoint measurement gen erally assume that the technique's goodness-of-fit mea sure will detect an inappropriate composition rule or the presence of random response error. In this paper a number of hypothetical and real preference rank order ings are analyzed using both axiomatic conjoint mea surement and numerical conjoint measurement to dem onstrate that this assumption is not warranted and may result in a distorted scaling.

A new methodology for analyzing individual differences in preference judgments with regard to a set of stimuli prespecified in a multidimensional attribute space and Computational results show that the methodology for external analysis is “unbiased”—i.e., on an average it recovers the “true” ideal point and weights.

These models, called conjunctive and disjunctive, are approximated here by suitable nonlinear functions of utility and are shown to give a better fit to certain decision data than the linear model.

A quantitative model for an opponent-colors theory of vision is presented that is based on the CIE color mixture data for the standard observer to account for spectral brightness, saturation, and hue and some of their associated psychophysical functions in both normal and dichromatic vision.

The authors compare the results using nonmetric analysis, full factorial designs, and rank data with quicker and less expensive methods of metric analysis, orthogonal arrays and stimulus ratings to indicate that metric analysis using ratings data and orthogonic arrays is very robust.

It was found that while minimum STRESS was the criterion of fit, another statistic, predictive capability, provided a better diagnosis of the known generating model, and the additive model is the most robust of the fitted models.
