A Monte Carlo Evaluation of Interactive Multi-dimensional Scaling

Girard, Roger A.; Cliff, Norman

Psychometrika, 41, 1, 43-64, Mar 76

An experimental procedure involving interaction between subject and computer was used to determine an opitmum subset of stimuli for multidimensional scaling (MDS). A computer program evaluated this procedure compared with MDS based on (a) all pairs of stimuli, and (b) on one-third of the possible pairs. The new method was better. (Author/HG)
