Abstract

        We consider a general least squares loss function for multidimensional scaling. Special cases of this loss function are stress, s-stress, and multiscale. Several analytic results are presented. In particular, we present the gradient and Hessian, and look at the differentiability at a local minimum. We also consider fulldimensional scaling and indicate when a global minimum can be obtained. Furthermore, we treat the problem of inverse multidimensional scaling, where the aim is to find those dissimilarity matrices for which a fixed configuration is a stationary point.
