In this paper, some new indices for ordinal data are introduced. These indices have been developed so as to measure the degree of concentration on the "small" or the "large" values of a variable whose level of measurement is ordinal. Their advantage in relation to other approached is that they...

The paper deals with some new indices for ordinal data that arise from sample surveys. Their aim is to measure the degree of concentration to the quot;positivequot; or quot;negativequot; answers in a given question. The properties of these indices are examined. Moreover, methods for constructing...
