This text shows what multidimensional scaling (MDS) is, explains in detail how to use the major MDS techniques, and fully prepares researchers to read the more technical literature in the field.
Designed as a graduate-level textbook and an important research reference in statistics and the social and behavioral sciences, the book also illustrates each major MDS technique with two kinds of examples (1)
hypothetical examples constructed to reveal the major features of the technique; (2) real examples drawn from a variety of fields, including acoustics, education, industrial relations, psychology and sociology. |
