Reviews for Modern Multidimensional Scaling: Theory and Applications (Springer Series in Statistics)
From the reviews of the second edition: "[Modern Multidimensional Scaling: Theory and Applications] is without a doubt the most comprehensive and most rigorous book on MDS...The second edition is considerably (140 pages) longer than the first, mostly because of much more material on MDS of rectangluar matrices (also known as unfolding) and MDS of asymmetric matrices is ...
