Abstract
The theory of multidimensional scaling is explained and
the operation of a multidimensional scaling program (KYST)
is examined under different input data forms and program
control constraints. Using data collected from economists
on the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School, individual
and aggregate configurations of their perceptions of
economic subjects are obtained through multidimensional
scaling of pairwise comparison data and are interpreted.
A theory of non-interpretable dimensions is developed,
and an application of multidimensional scaling as a technique
for performance evaluation is suggested.
