    Notes: The psychometric paradigm has been the most influential model in the field of risk analysis. The “cognitive maps” of hazards produced by the paradigm seem to explain how laypeople perceive the various risks they face. Because most of the studies used aggregated data, analyzed using principal component analysis, it is not known whether the model neglects individual differences in risk perception. There has been much criticism on the fact that few studies have examined individual differences in the cognitive representation of hazards. In order to detect and describe the internal structure of the three-way data, we conducted a three-way component analysis (3MPCA). Data for the present analysis were derived from a mail survey conducted in Switzerland. Participants were asked to judge 9 attributes for 26 hazards. Individual differences in the cognitive representation of hazards were correlated with external variables (e.g., general trust). The results suggest that methods permitting individual differences should be used more frequently and that utilizing different methods could provide greater insight into the cognitive representation of risks.

    A generalization of GIPSCAL for the analysis of nonsymmetric data (1994)
    Springer
    Journal of classification 11 (1994), S. 79-99 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-1343
    Keywords: DEDICOM ; alternating least squares ; multidimensional scaling
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Mathematics
    Notes: Abstract Graphical representation of nonsymmetric relationships data has usually proceeded via separate displays for the symmetric and the skew-symmetric parts of a data matrix. DEDICOM avoids splitting the data into symmetric and skewsymmetric parts, but lacks a graphical representation of the results. Chino's GIPSCAL combines features of both models, but may have a poor goodness-of-fit compared to DEDICOM. We simplify and generalize Chino's method in such a way that it fits the data better. We develop an alternating least squares algorithm for the resulting method, called Generalized GIPSCAL, and adjust it to handle GIPSCAL as well. In addition, we show that Generalized GIPSCAL is a constrained variant of DEDICOM and derive necessary and sufficient conditions for equivalence of the two models. Because these conditions are rather mild, we expect that in many practical cases DEDICOM and Generalized GIPSCAL are (nearly) equivalent, and hence that the graphical representation from Generalized GIPSCAL can be used to display the DEDICOM results graphically. Such a representation is given for an illustration. Finally, we show Generalized GIPSCAL to be a generalization of another method for joint representation of the symmetric and skew-symmetric parts of a data matrix.

    Some theoretical results on second-order calibration methods for data with and without rank overlap (1995)
    New York, NY : Wiley-Blackwell
    Journal of Chemometrics 9 (1995), S. 179-195 
    Details
    ISSN: 0886-9383
    Keywords: GRAM ; PARAFAC ; rank overlap ; second-order calibration ; Chemistry ; Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy
    Source: Wiley InterScience Backfile Collection 1832-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: GRAM, a method for second-order calibration, has been introduced by Sanchez and Kowalski and later modified by Wilson, Sanchez and Kowalski. The methods are based on the claim that, in cases without measurement error they yield correct estimates for the concentration ratios and profiles of (rank-one) analytes present in sample and mixture. This claim has not been proven rigorously. In the present paper, rigorous proofs are given for situations where the claims are valid indeed. In addition, it is shown that PARAFAC, an alternative method for second-order calibration, can be used to obtain the same results. Next it is shown that the claims do not hold in cases with ‘rank overlap’ (partly overlapping profiles) and it is proven that a procedure by Wang et al. can still be used to assess some of the concentration ratios. A general framework is provided for a variety of second-order calibration problems and the extent to which quantitative and qualitative information can be expected is given.

    The effect of preregistration on trust in empirical research findings: results of a registered report (2020)
    The Royal Society
    Details
    Publication Date: 2020-04-01
    Description: The crisis of confidence has undermined the trust that researchers place in the findings of their peers. In order to increase trust in research, initiatives such as preregistration have been suggested, which aim to prevent various questionable research practices. As it stands, however, no empirical evidence exists that preregistration does increase perceptions of trust. The picture may be complicated by a researcher's familiarity with the author of the study, regardless of the preregistration status of the research. This registered report presents an empirical assessment of the extent to which preregistration increases the trust of 209 active academics in the reported outcomes, and how familiarity with another researcher influences that trust. Contrary to our expectations, we report ambiguous Bayes factors and conclude that we do not have strong evidence towards answering our research questions. Our findings are presented along with evidence that our manipulations were ineffective for many participants, leading to the exclusion of 68% of complete datasets, and an underpowered design as a consequence. We discuss other limitations and confounds which may explain why the findings of the study deviate from a previously conducted pilot study. We reflect on the benefits of using the registered report submission format in light of our results. The OSF page for this registered report and its pilot can be found here: http://dx.doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/B3K75 .
