The majorization approach to multidimensional scaling for Minkowski distances
Authors
Abstract
The majorization method for multidimensional scaling with Kruskal's stress has been limited to Euclidean distances only. Here we extend the majorization algorithm to deal with Minkowski distances with 1 <= p <= 2 and suggest an algorithm that is partially based on majorization for p outside this range. We give some convergence proofs and extend the zero distance theorem of De Leeuw (1984) to Minkowski distances with p > 1.
