Abstract

Some aspects of the quantitative interpretation of stress are discussed on the basis of random sets of synthetic dissimilarity matrices. In Section 1 the relation between measurement error and stress is studied. The results can be used for estimating the true dimensionality and the measurement error of a set of data. In Section 2 the probability distribution of the stress-percentages is estimated. The results can be an aid in determining the significance of a multidimensional representation of experimental data.
