RANKINGS: ARE THEY USEFUL FOR MEASUREMENT PRACTITIONERS? ARE THEY IN THE SCOPE OF METROLOGY AND MEASUREMENT SCIENCE?

Sergey Muravyov
Abstract:
Rankings are sometimes considered to be non-empirical, non-objective, low-informative and, in principle, are not worthy to be titled measurement. In our opinion, a ranking is a result of measurement on ordinal scale and is useful to the same extent as any ordinal measurement.
