They affect patterns in and dependencies on data dimensions and ultimately influence any decision-making processes. Therefore, a wide variety of reduction procedures are in use, each pursuing different objectives. A so far not considered criterion is the conceptual continuity of the reduction mapping, i.e., the preservation of the conceptual structure with respect to the original data set. Based on the notion scale-measure from formal concept analysis we present in this work a) the theoretical foundations to detect and quantify conceptual errors in data scalings; b) an experimental investigation of our approach on eleven data sets that were respectively treated with a variant of non-negative matrix factorization.
