Multidimensional Scaling of Nominal Data: The Recovery of Metric Information with ALSCAL.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Young, Forrest W.; Null, Cynthia H. – Psychometrika, 1978
Multidimensional scaling has recently been enhanced so that data defined at only the nominal level of measurement can be analyzed. The efficacy of ALSCAL, an individual differences multidimensional scaling program which can analyze nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio data is presented. (Author/JKS)

Quantitative Analysis of Qualitative Data.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Young, Forrest W. – Psychometrika, 1981
Alternating least squares and optimal scaling are presented as two approaches to the quantitative analysis of qualitative data. A variety of statistical approaches to this problem are discussed. Three examples are presented. (JKS)

Interactive Scaling With Individual Subjects
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Young, Forrest W.; Cliff, Norman – Psychometrika, 1972
A metric multidimensional scaling (MDS) procedure based on computer-subject interaction is developed, and an experiment designed to validate the procedure is presented. (Author)
