define nomological
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Nomological network is a representation of the concepts (constructs) of interest in a study, their observable manifestations, and the interrelationships among and between these. The term Nomology has been derived from the Greek, meaning lawful, or in philosophy of science terms, lawlike.
Like a slide rule, a nomogram is a graphical analog computation device, and like the slide rule, its accuracy is limited by the precision with which physical markings can be drawn, reproduced, viewed, and aligned.
