A study on the pattern method for the decision process in the public system

Abstract: In this paper, I try to apply the PATTERN method(Planning Assistance Through Technical Evaluation of Relevance Number)for the decision process in the public system and attempt to construct a theoretical framework to explain the PATTERN method procedures.In this way, the PATTERN method procedures are to understand the public problem and solve it by three steps as follows.(a)To write the scenario from the public's point of view.(b)To build up the relevance tree from the content of the scenario.(c)To make the quantitative evaluation on the relevance tree.From these steps is developed a theoretical framework to construct the relevance tree from the scenario writing. At the same time, the multistage decision theory is applied to this relevance tree through the quantitative evaluation.This method is obtained by the consensus of the public opinions. Meanwhile, a decision making can be made in the public problem.Finally, this method is also applied to perform a case study of“the Public Problem of the Industrial Waste Treatment Planning”. I made a summary of it and examined its result.

A trial of modification of the face graph proposed by chernoff

Abstract: The face graph proposed by Chernoff has much contributed to grasp the global structures of the multi-dimensional data in many fields. However, when the data of one's body such as stature, body-weight, chest-circumference and sitting-height are concerned, a body graph proposed in the present paper can represent the global structures of the data more efficiently than the face graph. In this paper we mention how to construct and to use a body graph through some practical examples.

尺度法とその関連領域:文献目録に見る最近の動向(1)

Abstract: During the past decade, the number of published studies on scaling and related topics has increased at an explosive rate. This article provides bibliographic information of this general area, with reviews of research trends within and across the following categories of research: unfolding techniques; paired comparisons, ranking, and seriation; optimal scaling; conjoint measurement scaling; multidimensional scaling; homogeneity analysis(clustering, pattern and profile analysis, etc.); psychophysical scaling; theories of measurement; other scaling techniques and related topics, and; computer programs. The present article deals with the first four categories. The bibliographies, which cover mainly the past ten years, are by no means exhaustive, or rather, may not include half the studies published during the period. In particular, most studies published in Japan are not included.
