Multidimensional scaling covers a variety of statistical techniques in the area of multivariate data analysis. Geared toward dimensional reduction and graphical representation of data, it arose within the field of the behavioral sciences, but now holds techniques widely used in many disciplines. Multidimensional Scaling, Second Edition extends the popular first edition and brings it up to date. It concisely but comprehensively covers the area, summarizing the mathematical ideas behind the various techniques and illustrating the techniques with real-life examples. A computer disk containing programs and data sets accompanies the book.

Review

The authors comment in the Preface that 'multidimensional scaling has now become popular and has extended into areas other than its traditional place in the behavioral sciences.' This is the essential reference. It has been updated sufficiently to merit purchase even by persons who already own the [first edition].
- Techometrics, May 2003

...I recommend this book to those who wish for an introduction to multidimensional scaling or who have some knowledge of the field and wish to become better informed.
-Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

The book will provide a good overview of the subject for people who hope to use MDS methods, and will also serve as an introduction to those who wish to explore the methods in more depth.
