Multidimensional Scaling: Some Possibilities for Counseling Psychology

Although counseling psychologists conduct a great deal of research that attempts to reveal the structure of a given data set, rarely if ever do they utilize scaling procedures, preferring instead to rely on factor analytic strategies. In this article, we give a short introduction to the use of multidimensional scaling (MDS), with specific emphasis on applications in counseling and vocational ps...

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...

Fast Multidimensional Scaling using Vector Extrapolation

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) is a class of methods used to find a low-dimensional representation of a set of points given a matrix of pairwise distances between them. Problems of this kind arise in various applications, from dimensionality reduction of image manifolds to psychology and statistics. In many of these applications, efficient and accurate solution of an MDS problem is required. In...

Multidimensional Scaling Research in Vocational Psychology

This review summarizes and evaluates the use of multidimensional scaling in vocational psychology. Multidimensional scaling applications are found in two primary areas: vocational interests and occupational perceptions. These areas correspond to the two major uses of multidimensional scaling: configural verification and dimensional identification. Two issues—the relationship between multi...
