One of the MDS models in PRAAT.

You can perform a Kruskal-type multidimensional scaling only on objects of type Dissimilarity. Objects of other types first have to be converted to objects of Dissimilarity type.

Example

Convert a Dissimilarity object into a Configuration object.

•  Dissimilarity: To Configuration (monotone mds)...
• choose appropriate parameters
•  Dissimilarity & Configuration: Get stress (monotone mds)...
• choose stress-1 to obtain the value for the stress according to Kruskal.

How to get started

You can create an example Dissimilarity object with the Create letter R example... button which you can find under the Multidimensional scaling option in the New menu.
