Galileo

The Galileo Systemtm is a complete set of software for the measurement, display and engineering of cognitive systems. It can measure the attitudes and beliefs of individuals, groups, markets and market segments, and whole cultures with great precision, and it provides algorithms to develop strategies to change attitudes and beliefs precisely.

Microgaltm converts Galileo data into a coordinate reference frame which forms the basis for precise comparisons within and across data sets and over time. Unlike other algorithms that project data onto coordinates, such as factor analysis, principle components analysis, multi-dimensional scaling and such, Galileo coordinates are not a simplification or approximation, but an exact representation of the raw data. Galileo coordinates always represent the actual values of the data exactly, not just the first two or three or six dimensions, not just the standardized values, or the rank orders, as do these other procedures.

Why is the Galileo coordinate reference frame so useful? Frst, the coordinates provide a powerful basis for mathematical calculations like those in ASGtm, the Automatic Strategy Generator. If you need to change attitudes or beliefs, you can tell ASG what attitude you want to change, and ASG will tell you which are the most effective persuasive strategies available, and exactly how effective they are.

An even more important advantage is the ability to compare perceptions, attitudes and beliefs across different reference frames. By now it’s a truism that every person and culture perceives the world through a unique reference frame, and that perceptions can’t be conpared across different reference framse. But, once they have been projected onto Galileo coordinates, ROTATEtm can tranform the perceptions of any number of persons, cultures or time periods onto the same Galileo reference frame, so that they may be compared directly, freed of the effects of relative reference frames.

Galileo Utilities :

The Galileo system begins with AQMtm, the Automated Questionnaire Maker, which automates the process of designing a ratio scaled magnitude estimation complete pair comparison questionnaire. This is the most precise questionnaire known in psychometrics, but very tedious to make by hand. AQMtm can make one in seconds.

Next is ELQMtm, the Electronic Questionnaire Maker, which automatically creates all the files needed for a Galileotm project, and SPEDtm, the Simplified Program for Entering Data, which automates the entry of data. Combined with AllSplittm, a power andful data splitting utility that splits data on values, ranges, and even on open ended text, these three programs provide a complete data collection, entry manipulation utility that’s custom made specifically for Galileo data.

Galileo is widely used in election campaigns, and can not only generate effective campaign strategies, but can also estimate the percentage of the vote each candidate will receive with the program BALLOT. Or, you can express the distances in the Galileo space as tables with the program TABLES.

Once you become expert at Galileo, you will certainly want RAH5.6, the most powerful and flexible of all the Galileo programs. Modified from the original legacy FORTRAN mainframe Galileo program, RAH5.6 can carry out the most complicated Galileo procedures easily and quickly.

NOTICE: The Galileo Program and its elements are the legacy of four decades of research. None of the code was written to be marketed for profit -- all of it was written by scientists for scientists. It's not pretty.

Crude, but effective, as the immortal RAH would say...
