Abstract

The mathematical structure of the method for obtaining weights and scores which maximize correlation between them for a given response matrix is shown. The method is called “the generalized” in the sense that it is applicable to the more generalized response matrix in which each individual expresses his ability or attitude freely by assigning any positive integer to each category. Relation between the generalized method and Guttman's is discussed.
