Analysis of data quality, scaling assumptions, and reliability of crowd behaviour scale (Analisis kualiti data, andaian penskalaan dan kebolehpercayaan skala kelakuan ramai)

Hajj is an annual religious activity that involves a large gathering of people performing the same rituals at the same time within a confined space. Human behaviour in this mass gathering is an important issue of serious concern with life-threatening consequences due to extreme congestion. A new sca...
