    This document summarizes a data file containing three cases that illustrate how a multidimensional scaling (MDS) map can remain circular even as the dissimilarity data is degraded. The first case contains true distance data between 12 objects, while the second and third cases contain only ordinal level and binary distance information, respectively. Running the analysis on each case will still result in a circular MDS map.

    dat
    This data file has THREE CASES designed to illustrate
    an extreme case of Dij degradation without the MDS map changing.

    Use ratio MDS, Euclidean distances, Stress badness, and two dimensions.

    In all three cases you will get a circle.

    To run the other two cases, "uncover" the four keywords of


    the desired case by removing the x's in front of the keywords,
    and adding x's to the other two cases. Save the file, exit this
    screen, reload EXAMPLE_D.dat, and run the analysis.

    Later Note:
    The "data degradation" affect that this data set is
    designed to show can be more easily seen by using the
    on-line Precision button. That control button was not
    yet available when this example was first published.
    Regardless, this file shows the degraded dissimilarity
    data in a particularly clear format.
