On Multimodality of the SSTRESS Criterion for Metric Multidimensional Scaling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent publications on multidimensional scaling express contradicting opinion on multimodality of STRESS criterion. An example has been published with rigorously provable multimodality of STRESS. We present an example of data and the rigorous proof of multimodality of SSTRESS for this data. Some comments are included on widely accepted opinion that minimization of SSTRESS is easier than minimization of STRESS.

The Solution of the Metric STRESS and SSTRESS Problems in Multidimensional Scaling Using New- ton’s Method1
This paper considers numerical algorithms for finding local minimizers of metric multidimensional scaling problems. Two popular optimality criteria (STRESS and SSTRESS) are considered, the leading algorithms for each are carefully explicated, and a new algorithm is proposed. The new algorithm is based on Newton’s method and relies on a parametrization that has not previously been used in multid...
متن کاملAn Approximate Solution to the Metric SSTRESS Problem in Multidimensional Scaling
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a collection of data analytic techniques for constructing conngurations of points from dissimilarity information about interpoint distances. A popular measure of the t of the constructed distances to the observed dissimilarities is the sstress criterion, which must be minimized by numerical optimization. Because iterative procedures for numerical optimization t...
متن کاملArtefactual Structure from Least-Squares Multidimensional Scaling
We consider the problem of illusory or artefactual structure from the visualisation of high-dimensional structureless data. In particular we examine the role of the distance metric in the use of topographic mappings based on the statistical field of multidimensional scaling. We show that the use of a squared Euclidean metric (i.e. the SSTRESS measure) gives rise to an annular structure when the...
متن کاملUsing 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...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a collection of data analytic techniques for constructing con$gurations of points from dissimilarity information about interpoint distances. Two popular measures of how well the constructed distances $t the observed dissimilarities are the raw stress and sstress criteria, each of which must be minimized by numerical optimization. Because iterative procedures fo...
