Schedule Design
On 8th December, I am going to organize one seminar on schedule design for psychological and educational survey researches.

The idea came to my mind during my work on social safety network program and on rural workers training impact study. In earlier case, I found that many explanatory variables were not properly accounted, no pilot testing of schedule, and the most difficult problem was scale equating.
Correspondence between nominal and interval scale
In the schedule, if some statements are categorical, some are in the form of interval scale. It becomes difficult to make adjustment with the scales. One possibility for determining association between nominal and interval scale is to use cross tab analysis of both categories of responses. In that case each rating category will be under the analysis.
