The Peilingwijzer as Measurement Model
Summary
This Thesis provided a philosophical investigation in the assumptions behind the Peilingwijzer. First, the framework of data and phenomena by Bogen and Woodward was introduced. Then, the Peilingwijzer as a calculus of observations warranting a data to phenomena inference in a field science was discussed. Then, the statistical model of the Peilingwijzer was described and the normality assumptions, the structural bias assumption and the autonomous phenomenon assumptions were explained and philosophically analysed. Lastly, reflections are provided for future research and discussion.
