“…Falmagne (1994) showed that, under certain side conditions, the exponent bðpÞ is either a real valued constant b or an exponential function of the type bðpÞ ¼ y expðgF À1 ðpÞÞ (Falmagne, 1994, Theorem 3). A recent paper by Doble, Falmagne, Berg, and Southworth (2006) on psychoacoustics provides empirical evidence that bðpÞ is a decreasing function of the criterion p. Furthermore, the data indicate that the two parameters bðpÞ and KðpÞ are related by a simple relationship of the form…”
