Multidimensional Scaling

Multidimensional Scaling - Newcastle University

 


This site is about multidimensional scaling and is constantly undergoing development.

Multidimensional scaling can include such areas as classical scaling, nonmetric multidimensional scaling, unidimensional scaling, Procrustes analysis, biplots, unfolding, correspondence analysis, individual differences scaling. It is hoped to grow the site with articles, data and links to other web sites. Please contact us if you would like to contribute to the site, or propose a link.

Please advise the authors of any problems.

The problem of locating the true minimum of the stress function in nonmetric multidimensional scaling is highlighted. Particular reference is made to software packages and their documentation that frequently fail to "stress" the possible pit falls.
