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)

Vegelius, Jan – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1979
The computer program WEIGAN makes the weighted G analysis available for computer users. The input and output of the program are described. (Author/JKS)

Ramsay, J. O. – Psychometrika, 1980
Some aspects of the small sample behavior of maximum likelihood estimates in multidimensional scaling are investigated with Monte Carlo techniques. In particular, the chi square test for dimensionality is examined and a correction for bias is proposed and evaluated. (Author/JKS)

Peay, Edmund R. – Psychometrika, 1975
A class of closely related hierarchical grouping methods are discussed and a procedure which implements them in an integrated fashion is presented. These methods avoid some theoretical anomalies inherent in clustering and provide a framework for viewing partitioning and nonpartitioning grouping. Significant relationships between these methods and…

Nishisato, Shizuhiko – 1978
A bibliography with approximately 1,000 references to articles on multidimensional scaling (MDS) is preceded by a summary review tracing the major developments in the areas covered, and identifying significant references in each. With the exception of a few earlier documents, the period covered is 1966 to 1978. Topics mentioned in the summary…

Johnson, Richard M. – Psychometrika, 1973
A method of nonmetric multidimensional scaling is described which minimizes pairwise departures from monotonicity. (Author)

Farace, Richard V.; Mabee, Timothy – 1977
This paper reviews a variety of analytic procedures that can be applied to network data, discussing the assumptions and usefulness of each procedure when applied to the complexity of human communication. Special attention is paid to the network properties measured or implied by each procedure. Factor analysis and multidimensional scaling are among…

Spence, Ian – Psychometrika, 1972
Discusses the different strategies employed by three practical nonmetric multidimensional scaling algorithms using Monte Carlo techniques. (Author/RK)
