Data Theory and Dimensional Analysis (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Data Theory and Dimensional Analysis (Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

By examining some of the basic scaling questions, such as the importance of measurement levels, the kinds of variables needed for Likert or Guttman scales and when to use multidimensional scaling versus factor analysis, Jacoby introduces readers to the most appropriate scaling strategies for different research situations. He also explores data theory, the study of how real world observations can be transformed into something to be analyzed, in order to facilitate more effective use of scaling techniques.
