Applications of Multidimensional Scaling to Research in the Health Professions.
Raymond, Mark R.
Evaluation and the Health Professions, v12 n4 p379-408 Dec 1989
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) and its potential use for research and evaluation in health-related professions are discussed. Useful data types, interpretation of results, and various applications of MDS are presented. MDS is less restrictive than factor analysis since it does not assume a linear relationship between the objects/variables of interest. (TJH)
