Three-way Scaling and Clustering
Phipps Arabie, J. Douglas Carroll, Wayne S. DeSarbo · 1987
This volume takes up where multidimensional scaling leaves off assumes a working knowledge of the material covered in the earlier volumes and goes well beyond it. It begins with a review and application of the INDSCAL model. The authors begin their discussion with an example of the use of the INDSCAL model they then present the model itself and finally they return to another extended example. The initial example is the Rosenberg-Kim study of English kinship terms. The presentation of the model and concepts grows nicely from this context. A 2nd example firms up the readers understanding of the model. After they cover the INDSCAL model the authors present a detailed analysis of SINDSCAL and provide an introduction to other 3-way scaling models as well as individual differences clustering models. The Rosenberg and Kim data are used again to illustrate the INDCLUS clustering model. A series of appendices provide readers with the control cards to analyze ont of the examples using SINDSCAL and discuss several procedures for fitting the INDSCAL model. This monograph provides a sophisticated overview and analysis of 3-way scaling procedures.
