摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the theory of Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). MDS is quite old. The closely-related methods have been used by surveyors and geographers since Gauss, Kruskal has discovered a crude method in systematic zoology Boyden around 1930, algorithms for mapping chromosomes from crossing-over frequencies can already be found an interesting paper Fisher. development MDS, however, almost completely taken place psychometrics. first important contribution to not methods, probably Stumpf's (1880). broad sense includes various forms cluster analysis linear multivariate analysis. narrow sense, represents dissimilarity data low-dimensional space.
