First Steps,The basic ideas of MDS are introduced doing MDS by hand. Then, MDS is done using statistical software. The goodness of the MDS configuration is evaluated by correlating its distances with the data. Unfolding is introduced with a small example.

The Fit of MDS and Unfolding Solutions,Ways to assess the goodness of an MDS solution are discussed. The Stress measure is defined as an index that aggregates representation errors. Criteria for evaluating Stress are presented. Stress per Point (SPP) is defined as a way to assess the fit of single points.

CUMB

Proximities,The data for MDS, proximities, are discussed. Proximities can be collected directly as judgments of similarity; proximities can be derived from data vectors; proximities may result from converting other indexes; and co-occurrence data are yet another popular form of proximities.

MDS Software,Two modern programs for MDS are described: ., an . module, and ., an . package. Commands and/or GUI menus are presented and illustrated with practical applications.
