With a choice of a Fisher Information metric, we can explore the implications of the widespread assumption that survey subject beliefs or other phenomena are Gaussian distributed, but are elicited, measured and analyzed as Likert scaled data.
The Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) provides a method for eliciting, measuring and recording descriptions of patients' disabilities that are most relevant to them.
The results are assumed to elicit preventive measures or even cancellation of surgery.
Those numbers, first reported by The Villager and later by The New York Post, have elicited equal measures of anger and amusement in the world of parochial education.
It also benefits hugely from breaking the 90-minute rule and offering a second act: only by charting the passage of time, and introducing new characters, does Stenham reveal the full extent of the kids' filial need and even elicit a measure of sympathy for the suicide-prone mother.
For now, the goal-priming controversy should not be seen as a refutation of anyone's work but rather as an impetus to address two problems in the field of psychology: how best to elicit and measure intriguing properties of the unconscious and, more broadly, how to ensure that the tenets of science — transparency, skepticism and self-correction — manifest themselves in its conduct.
In particular, as the experimental design allows us to investigate the validity of elicited risk measures, we examine the magnitude of differences between valid and invalid observations.
The oculomotor system is ideal as it has been extensively utilized for quantitative analysis; however, no complete apparatus exists to both elicit and measure the eye movements in small genetic model organisms in real time.
In this study, the objective was to develop a simple experimental design which would enable us to elicit and measure multiple nociceptive mechanisms that have been reported to play a role in the development and persistency of chronic pain, such as temporal summation (TS) and diffuse noxious inhibitory control (DNIC).
In vivo optogenetic studies in awake, behaving animals commonly use light stimulation to elicit and measure behavioral or complex physiological changes rather than a change in membrane potential or firing rate of the manipulated neuron (Adamantidis et al., 2007; Aponte et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2012; Shabel et al., 2012; Tan et al., 2012; van Zessen et al., 2012).
