Minimum Dimension Analysis MDA
Tóm tắt
In the present paper, the method of minimum dimension analysis (MDA) is given with examples. This method belongs to the same genre as smallest space analysis (SSA) by L. Guttman. Let Rij be the relation between i-element and j-element, i, j = 1,2,..., N. If Rij is given in the form of rank order, SSA gives the configuration of the elements with less inconsistancy in Euclidean space having smallest dimension. MDA reveals the configuration of those in the case where Rij is given in the form of rank ordered group. The author gives the algorithm to solve this problem using correlation ratio the main process of which is based on repeated linear programming method andeij-type quantification method.
