Using Multidimensional Scaling for Assessment Economic Development of Regions

Addressing socio-economic development issues are strategic and most important for any country. Multidimensional statistical analysis methods, including comprehensive index assessment, have been successfully used to address this challenge, but they donchr('39')t cover all aspects of development, leaving some gap in the development of multidimensional metrics. The purpose of the study is to const...

On the Dangers of Averaging across Subjects When Using Multidimensional Scaling or the Similarity-choice Model

When ratings of judged similarity or frequencies of stimulus identification are averaged across subjects, the psychological structure ofthe data is fundamentally changed. Regardless of the structure of the individual-subject data, the averaged similarity data will likely be well fit by a standard multidimensional scaling model, and the averaged identification data will likely be well fit by the...

Multidimensional Scaling

Overview From a non-technical point of view, the purpose of multidimensional scaling (MDS) is to provide a visual representation of the pattern of proximities (i.e., similarities or distances) among a set of objects. For example, given a matrix of perceived similarities between various brands of air fresheners, MDS plots the brands on a map such that those brands that are perceived to be very s...
