Random Versus Rational Strategies for Initial Configurations in Nonmetric Multidimensional Scaling

Arabie, Phipps

Psychometrika, 43, 1, 111-3, Mar 78

An examination is made concerning the utility and design of studies comparing nonmetric multidimensional scaling algorithms and their initial configurations, as well as the agreement between the results of such studies. Various practical details of nonmetric scaling are also considered. (Author/JKS)
