Empirical Evaluations of Scaling Method and Scale Transformation in Multidimensional Scaling Analysis
Douglas G. Schultz, Arthur I. Siegel · Psychological Reports · 1964
Successive intervals scaling and equal intervals scaling as a preliminary step to multidimensional scaling analysis were compared. The effects of an exponential transformation on the resultant structure were also investigated. For judgments involving similarity of electronics job tasks, neither scaling method nor exponential transformation seemed to affect the emergent structure to any great extent.
