Monte Carlo Studies in Nonmetric Scaling
Spence, Ian; Young, Forrest W.
Psychometrika, 43, 1, 115-7, Mar 78
Several nonmetric multidimensional scaling random ranking studies are discussed in response to the preceding article (TM 503 490). The choice of a starting configuration is discussed and the use of principal component analysis in obtaining such a configuration is recommended over a randomly chosen one. (JKS)
