A methodology is developed for constructing linear biplots for a class of nonmetric multidimensional scaling methods for multivariate data. The nonlinear transformations of nonmetric scaling manifest themselves in irregularly spaced calibration markers. Two approaches are examined, one based on...

This paper proposes a method of ranking the elements of a set of objects by multi-criteria analysis on multiple principal components derived from a multiple variable dataset pertaining to the objects. Concordance-discordance method of outranking and derivation of preference relations has been...
