Commandeur, Jacques J. F.; Groenen, Patrick J. F.; Meulman, Jacqueline J. – Psychometrika, 1999
Presents two methods for including weights in distance-based nonlinear multivariate data analysis. One method assigns weights to the objects, while the other is concerned with differential weighing of groups of variables. Discusses applications of these weighting schemes and proposed an algorithm to minimize the corresponding loss function. (SLD)

van der Burg, Eeke; de Leeuw, Jan – Psychometrika, 1988
Homogeneity analysis (multiple correspondence analysis), which is usually applied to "k" separate variables, was applied to sets of variables by using sums within sets. The resulting technique, OVERALS, uses optimal scaling. The corresponding OVERALS computer program minimizes a least squares loss function via an alternating least…
