Dissimilarity: To Configuration (monotone mds)...
|
|
A command that creates a Configuration object from a Dissimilarity object.
Dissimilarities δij and disparities d′ij are related by:
Settings
-
Number of dimensions
-
determines the number of dimensions of the configuration.
-
Handling of ties
-
When dissimilarities are equal, i.e., δij = δkl, the primary approach imposes no conditions on the corresponding disparities d′ij and d′kl, while the secondary approach demands that also d′ij = d′kl.
Finding the optimal Configuration involves a minimization process:
-
Tolerance
-
When successive values for the stress differ less than Tolerance the minimization process stops.
-
Maximum number of iterations
-
Minimization stops after this number of iterations has been reached.
-
Number of repetitions
-
When chosen larger than 1, the minimalization process will be repeated, each time with another random start configuration. The configuration that results in minimum stress will be saved.
