Abstract

        The majorization method for multidimensional scaling with Kruskal's stress has been limited to Euclidean distances only. Here we extend the majorization algorithm to deal with Minkowski distances with 1 <= p <= 2 and suggest an algorithm that is partially based on majorization for p outside this range. We give some convergence proofs and extend the zero distance theorem of De Leeuw (1984) to Minkowski distances with p > 1.
