This example shows that PERMAP gives the same result as
one quoted in the literature.

Use Euclidean distances, ratio MDS, two dimensions, and Stress1.


This shows that the same half-matrix definition
is being used and that the Stress1 formulas are the same
as those shown by Borg and Groenen. The literature is
not uniform on either of these points.
Borg and Groenen got Stress1 = .01739.
Permap gets 0.01717.
