Nonadditive analogues of what is considered to be the essential mathematics of additive measurement are presented. The scope of this paper is defined when measurement theories are reformulated in such a way to assign transformations of numbers to transformations of natural objects. This paper is limited to theories of measurement in which…

A technique for testing the hypothesis that a hierarchical sequence of partitions constructed by the max method could have been obtained solely on the basis of "noise" is discussed. The evaluation procedure imvolves comparing a rank-order goodness-of-fit measure to the tabled percentiles obtained from an approximate cumulative permutation…

This volume is intended for use in introductory research courses in which elementary and early childhood teachers, reading specialists, special education teachers, and content area teachers at the middle and secondary school levels are prepared as consumers of educational research rather than producers of educational research. The text provides…

The 1999 conference of the Mid-Western Educational Research Association (MWERA) was the second year the association allowed presenters to submit proposals over the World Wide Web. Enhancements to the on-line system since the 1998 conference allowed proposal reviewers to examine submissions and provide their comments on-line. Members of the program…
