Warning # 14654 The total number of parameters being estimated (the number of stimulus coordinates plus the number of
weights, if any) is large relative to the number of data values in your data matrix. The results may not be reliable since there
may not be enough data to precisely estimate the values of the parameters. You should reduce the number of parameters (e.g.
request fewer dimensions) or increase the number of observations. Number of parameters is 38. Number of data values is 90

Iteration history for the 2 dimensional solution (in squared distances)

Young's S-stress formula 1 is used.

Stress and squared correlation (RSQ) in distances

 RSQ values are the proportion of variance of the scaled data (disparities)
in the partition (row, matrix, or entire data) which
is accounted for by their corresponding distances.
Stress values are Kruskal's stress formula 1.

Subject weights measure the importance of each dimension to each subject. Squared weights sum to RSQ.
A subject with weights proportional to the average weights has a weirdness of zero, the minimum value.
A subject with one large weight and many low weights has a weirdness near one.
A subject with exactly one positive weight has a weirdness of one, the maximum value for nonnegative weights.
