A computational method for weighted euclidean distance scaling (a method of multidimensional scaling) which combines aspects of an "analytic" solution with an approach using loss functions is presented. (Author/JKS)

Describes the American mathematical psychologists' computer-based method of constructing representations of the psychological structure of a set of stimuli on the basis of pairwise measures of similarity on confusability. Psychological structure is represented utilizing multidimensional spatial configurations and nondimensional tree-structures or…
