Measurement Process: Improving the ISO 15939 StandardLuigi Buglione
Over the past few years ISO has published a number of specific standards detailing processes included in a generic form in software development life cycle models. ISO 15939 on the Measurement process itself is an example of such specific ISO standard. This paper presents some suggestions for improvements to its Measurement Information Model and to the measurement plan within the planning process of ISO 15939.

When It Comes from the People: The Effects of Reforming Ballot Initiative Exp...Robert Richards
Obstacles to citizens’ understanding of the legal content of ballot measures were thought to lie in inconsistencies between the communicative practices of official summaries of such measures and citizens’ own legal communicative practices. Theory suggested that revising official ballot-measure summaries to include elements of citizens’ legal communicative practices would enhance citizens’ understanding of the legal content of ballot measures, confidence in that understanding, and confidence in their voting decision about such measures, and that intrapersonal reflection would mediate those effects. Those predictions were tested in a controlled experiment. Results showed no evidence of knowledge gains, but subjects exposed to a description of the policy objectives of a ballot measure showed significant increases in voting confidence. A subset of those subjects also experienced significant increases in knowledge confidence. Many findings were consistent with theories of sense-making (Dervin & Frenette, 2001), framing (Scheufele, 1999, 2000), and the theory of reasoned action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1977), and with the prediction that a “means-end” schema operates in citizens’ minds during deliberations about proposed laws.

Home » Measurement » Levels of Measurement
The level of measurement refers to the relationship among the values that are assigned
to the attributes for a variable. What does that mean? Begin with the idea of the
variable, in this example "party affiliation." That variable has a number of attributes. Let's
assume that in this particular election context the only relevant attributes are
"republican", "democrat", and "independent". For purposes of
analyzing the results of this variable, we arbitrarily assign the values 1, 2 and 3 to the
three attributes. The level of measurement describes the relationship among
these three values. In this case, we simply are using the numbers as shorter placeholders
for the lengthier text terms. We don't assume that higher values mean "more" of
something and lower numbers signify "less". We don't assume the the value of 2
means that democrats are twice something that republicans are. We don't assume that
republicans are in first place or have the highest priority just because they have the
value of 1. In this case, we only use the values as a shorter name for the attribute.
Here, we would describe the level of measurement as "nominal".
Why is Level of Measurement Important?
First, knowing the level of measurement helps you decide how to interpret the data from
that variable. When you know that a measure is nominal (like the one just described), then
you know that the numerical values are just short codes for the longer names. Second,
knowing the level of measurement helps you decide what statistical analysis is appropriate
on the values that were assigned. If a measure is nominal, then you know that you would
never average the data values or do a t-test on the data.
There are typically four levels of measurement that are defined: Nominal Ordinal Interval Ratio
In nominal measurement the numerical values just "name" the attribute
uniquely. No ordering of the cases is implied. For example, jersey numbers in basketball
are measures at the nominal level. A player with number 30 is not more of anything than a
player with number 15, and is certainly not twice whatever number 15 is.
In ordinal measurement the attributes can be rank-ordered. Here, distances
between attributes do not have any meaning. For example, on a survey you might code
Educational Attainment as 0=less than high school; 1=some high school.; 2=high school degree; 3=some college;
4=college degree; 5=post college. In this measure, higher numbers mean more education.
But is distance from 0 to 1 same as 3 to 4? Of course not. The interval between values is
not interpretable in an ordinal measure.
In interval measurement
the distance between attributes does have meaning. For example, when we measure
temperature (in Fahrenheit), the distance from 30-40 is same as distance from 70-80. The
interval between values is interpretable. Because of this, it makes sense to compute an
average of an interval variable, where it doesn't make sens ...

U.S. Electoral Fairness Report revised as of April 11, 2013
Executive Summary
The American federal electoral system borders a failed state as determined by the overall unsatisfactory audit score of 54.5 percent (out of 100 percent). The FDA auditors measured
1) two failing scores for legislation pertaining to electoral finance (48.25 percent) and media election content (42.5 percent);
2) one unsatisfactory score for legislation pertaining to candidates and parties
(57 percent);
3) one satisfactory score for legislation pertaining to voters (70.25 percent).
The FDA auditors factored in 52 independent variables and used matrices and financial spreadsheets in its calculations and determinations. Based on its measurements, the FDA believes that the American federal election outcomes may not reflect the voice of Americans from electoral districts. The significant legislated unfair competition between American candidates and parties coupled with electoral finance legislation favoring wealthy money interests and media legislation favoring large corporate media and imbalanced election coverage creates a system tilted heavily to special and minority interests, rather than the American people. The FDA believes that reforms are necessary in electoral finance and election coverage in order to help realign the American federal electoral process with Americans as a whole. The FDA recommends, for examples, expenditure limits on congressional candidates and privately funded presidential candidates, caps on independent third-party expenditure, caps on media ownership concentration, and a voluntary media code of conduct during the 60 day campaign period which supports impartial and balanced campaign coverage of all registered candidates and parties.
The FDA recommends that the public get involved with the government legislative process and implementation if they want to protect and advance their democratic voice, and create a society of their choosing.
“If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.”
- Aristotle

Oligarchy rules democracy: Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Int...Sadanand Patwardhan
Each of four theoretical traditions in the study of American politics – which can be characterized as theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy, Economic Elite Domination, and two types of interest group pluralism, Majoritarian Pluralism and Biased Pluralism – offers different predictions about which sets of actors have how much influence over public policy: average citizens; economic elites; and organized interest groups, mass-based or business-oriented. A great deal of empirical research speaks to the policy influence of one or another set of actors, but until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions against each other within a single statistical model. This paper reports on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues. Multivariate analysis indicates that economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on U.S. government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence. The results provide substantial support for theories of Economic Elite Domination and for theories of Biased Pluralism, but not for theories of Majoritarian Electoral Democracy or Majoritarian Pluralism. The study is by Martin Gilens, Princeton University and Benjamin I. Page, Northwestern University.
What we see may not always be the reality and what we
presume as real may not be our observation always. In a democratic
set-up, this has often emerged as a reality. Democracies had always been subjected to criticism but it is astonishing to note how the
interplay of corrupt vision and changing social attitudes playing a
havoc in our democratic systems. This paper broadly investigates
the voting behavior and attitudes in response to sophisticated
tempting actions by political parties to pull voters. This research
demonstrates that higher the level of temptation combined with
many socio-economic perils leads to higher biasness towards
them. Participatory research, interviews, journals, publications,
and observation and media reporting have been studied, analyzed,
and scrutinized to discover how different poor and illiterate people
vote. Findings and results attribute a greater role of education,
financial liberty, backwardness, and awareness to political reality
in determining voting behavior.
