We propose a two-way Bayesian vector spatial procedure incorporating dimension reparameterization with a variable selection option to determine the dimensionality and simultaneously identify the significant covariates that help interpret the derived dimensions in the joint space map. We discuss...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) comprises a family of geometric models for the multidimensional representation of data and a corresponding set of methods for fitting such models to actual data. In this paper, we develop a new Bayesian vector MDS model to analyze ordered successive categories...
