Three-Way Multidimensional Scaling: Formal Properties and Relationships Between Scaling Methods

  • Chapter
Data Analysis and Decision Support

Abstract

This paper is concerned with methods of three-way two-mode multidimensional scaling which were developed for the joint analysis of a number of promities matrices. The classification of these methods into trilinear and quadrilinear models (Kruskal (1983)) is outlined, and it is shown, that a number of specific properties and interpretations are associated with this classification the methods within each class have in common. Finally, relationships of the methods within and between the two model classes are outlined.
