I take this merely to mean that you don't know how to use {ni} -- and aren't too clear on {jei} either. Many {ni} scales are open ended and hence do not map onto [0,1] "without damage." And, it is the mapping which is exactly the main separation between {ni} and {jei} -- as the non-identical joiner of the two. |
