MEASURING PASSENGER SATISFACTION: A STRATEGY BASED ON RASCH ANALYSIS AND THE ANOM
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods - Year 2011, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Measuring passenger satisfaction presents several difficulties since customer satisfaction in the public transport sector is subject to different conditions which are different than those that affect other sectors. In this work, a strategy based on Rasch analysis and the Analysis of Means (ANOM) is proposed. This study is based on the idea that the Rasch rating scale model gives ‘sufficient statistic’ for an underlying unidimensional latent trait such as the satisfaction generated by local transport operators. Furthermore, the ability of passengers, measured by the rating scale model, is studied by means of ANOM decision charts to verify if there are different levels of satisfaction between the different groups of passengers.

Information Theoretic Estimation Improvement To The Nonlinear Gompertz’s Model Based On Ranked Set Sampling
The aim of this paper is to apply both Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) estimation method and Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) technique to improve the estimations of the Gompertz’s Model. The Gompertz’s model is a simple form...
DOES LOG-RANK TEST GIVE SATISFACTORY RESULTS?
Comparison of effects of two treatments by log-rank test is a very common phenomenon in medical research. Researchers prefer to use log-rank test with out carrying about the assumptions of test, which sometimes not only...
BILEVEL PROGRAMMING PROBLEM WITH FUZZY PARAMETERS: A FUZZY GOAL PROGRAMING APPROACH
This paper describes how fuzzy goal programming can be efficiently used to solve bilevel programming problems with fuzzy parameters. In the model formulation of the problem, the tolerance membership functions for the fuz...
Solving Nonlinear Optimization Problems by Means of the Network Programming Method
We suggest a new approach to solve discrete optimization problems, based on the possibility of presenting a function as a superposition of simpler functions. Such a superposition can be easily represented in the form of...
