This paper presents a nonspatial operationalization of the Krumhansl (1978, 1982) distancedensity model of similarity. This model assumes that the similarity between two objects i and j is a function of both the interpoint distance between i and j and the density of other stimulus points in the...

This paper presents a new stochastic multidimensional scaling vector threshold model designed to analyze “pick any/ n ” choice data (e.g., consumers rendering buy/no buy decisions concerning a number of actual products). A maximum likelihood procedure is formulated to estimate a joint space...

In many regression applications, users are often faced with difficulties due to nonlinear relationships, heterogeneous subjects, or time series which are best represented by splines. In such applications, two or more regression functions are often necessary to best summarize the underlying...

An algorithm is presented for constructing from the adjacency matrix of a digraph the matrix of its simple n -sequences. In this matrix, the i, j entry, i ≠ j , gives the number of paths of length n from a point v i to a point v j ; the diagonal entry i, i gives the number of cycles of length...
