MDS(multi-dimensional scaling) for preference data is a graphical tool which usually figures out how consumers recognize, evaluate certain products. This article is mainly concerned with an optimal scaling for MDS when target configuration is available. Rotation of axis and SUR(seemingly unrelated regression) methods are employed to get a new configuration which is obtained as close to the target as we can. Methodologies developed here are also illustrated via a real data set.

This paper presents a distance mapping-based localization method with incomplete data which means partially observed data. We make three contributions. First, we propose the use of Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) for multi-robot localization. Second, we formulate the problem to accomodate partial observations common in multi-robot settings. We solve the resulting optimization problem using #Scaling by Majorizing a Complicated function (SMACOF)#, a popular algorithm fur iterative MDS. Third, we not only verify the performance of MDS-based multi-robot localization by computer simulations, but also implement a real world localization of multi-robot team. Using extensive empirical results, we show that the accuracy of the proposed method is almost similar to that of Monte Carlo Localization(MCL).

This study presents the tests of an Immersed Membrane BioReactor (IMBR) equipped with a draft tube and focuses on the influence of hydrodynamic conditions on membrane fouling in a pilot-scale using a hollow fiber membrane module of ZW-10 under ambient conditions. In this system, the cross-flow velocities across the membrane surface were induced by a cylindrical draft-tube. The relationship between cross-flow velocity and aeration strength and the influence of the cross-flow on fouling rate (under various hydrodynamic conditions) were investigated using Multi-Dimension Scaling (MDS) analysis. MDS technique is especially suitable for samples with many variables and has relatively few observations, as the data about Membrane Bio-Reactor (MBR) often is. Observations and variables are analyzed simultaneously. According to the results, a specialized form of MDS, CoPlot enables presentation of the results in a two dimensional space and when plotting variables ratio (output/input) rather than original data the efficient units can be visualized clearly. The results indicate that: (i) aeration plays an important role in IMBR performance; (ii) implementing the MDS approach with reference to the variables ratio is consequently useful to characterize performance changes for data classification.

보행자들의 선호도 및 선호공간의 특성을 고찰하기 위하여 다차원척도법(MDS)을 이용하여 분석을 실시한 결과, 차원 1의 보행공간 특성은 보행자 전용도로의 유무여부, 보차분리가 되어 있는 공간과 보차분리가 되어 있지 않은 공간적 특성을 가지는 "보차분리(보행자 전용도로)"의 차원으로 해석된다. 차원 2는 자연적이고 한적한 경관적 특성을 가지는 공간과 복잡하고 혼잡한 도시적 특성을 가지는 공간으로 "자연성-도회성"의 차원으로 해석된다. 또한 보행자들의 선호공간 벡터를 분석한 결과 주거단지 사이의 보행자 전용도로, 소공원 보행공간, 근린공원 보행공간, 공공시설 주변 보행공간 등이 가장 선호되는 공간으로 나타났고, 단독주택주변 보행공간은 반대로 가장 선호하지 않는 공간으로 분석된다.

다양한 정보통신기술의 발달로 인하여 기존 이러닝 등의 2차원적 학습 콘텐츠 한계를 극복할 수 있는 한 가지 방안으로 3차원적 가상현실 활용 가능성에 대한 모색이 이루어지고 있다. 특히 가상현실에서의 화면 구성은 학습에 직 간접적으로 영향을 미치는 감성을 유발할 수 있는 가능성을 지닌다. 하지만 화면의 어떠한 측면이 감성을 유발하는지에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구는 감성을 유발할 수 있는 가상현실 학습 환경에서의 화면 구성 요소에 대한 사용자 인식을 분석하는 목적을 지닌다. 대표적인 가상현실 학습 환경 플랫폼 주요 화면에 대한 사용자의 인식을 확인하기 위해 다차원척도(Multi Dimensional Scaling, MDS)분석법을 활용하였다. 연구 결과, 사용자는 화면에서의 공간의 깊이 차원과 아바타 등의 움직임에 해당하는 역동성 차원에서 감성을 유발할 수 있다는 점을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 가상현실에서의 화면 요소중 감성을 유발할 수 있는 기술적 변인을 탐색해 보는데 의의를 지닌다.

This paper aims to propose a research framework of analyzing voting activities of a national assembly on the basis of member-level voting similarity and provides a case study in the $18^{th}$ national assembly in South Korea. First, we propose a bill contentiousness measure that gives a higher score to bills for which ayes and noes are more diversified in both conservative and progressive parties. Based on the bill contentiousness measure, the top 5%, 10%, and 20% bills were identified and used for further analyses. Moreover, we propose a member-level voting similarity measure that compensates for the lower frequency of noes, and evaluate the pair-wise voting similarities for all lawmakers. Then, voting similarity differences to the affiliated/non-affiliated parties were analyzed for the members in the two major parties according to some internal/external key factors. Finally, similar voting groups were identified and their affiliations were investigated based on the multi-dimensional scaling (MDS) and network analysis techniques. A case study on the $18^{th}$ national assembly of South Korea showed that the cohesion of the members in the 'Hanara' party becomes higher than that of the 'Minju' party as the bill contentiousness increases, whereas the number of elected, local constituency versus proportional representation, and the competition intensity in a local constituency were found to be partially influential to the voting activities of lawmakers. In addition, MDS and network analysis showed that there is a distinctive difference between two parties when all bills are analyzed, whereas the diversity of parties increases in the same group as the bill contentiousness increases.

In these days, there are huge increases of concerning underwater acoustic sensor networks (UWASNs) to explore marine resources and to monitor climate change. To collect information from sensor nodes which are randomly deployed in underwater, Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS) based locating methods have been recently introduced, which consider sound speed to be constant in underwater. However, underwater sound speed tends to vary depending on underwater environment factors, such as depth, temperature, and salinity. In this paper, we propose a method considering environment factors, can influence upon sound speed in underwater, and introduce experimental setup which can follow up environmental factors.

The acoustic quality of a vowel is known to be mostly determined by the frequencies of the first formant(Fl) and the second formant(F2). The perceptual(or psychological) dimensions of vowel perception were examined in this study. Also the relationships among perceptual dimensions, acoustical dimensions(Fl & F2), and articulatory gestures of vowel were discussed. Using multi-dimensional scaling(MDS) technique, the experiment was performed in order to identify the perceptual dimensions of the perception of Korean vowel. In the experiment 8 Seoul standard speakers performed the similarity rating task of 10 synthesized Korean vowels. Two-dimensional MDS solution based. on the similarity rating scores was obtained. The results showed that two perceptual dimensions, D1 and D2 were correlated strongly with F2 and F1(r = -.895 and .878 respectively), and were so interpreted as 'vowel advancement' and 'vowel height' respectively. The relationship between the perceptual dimensions of vowel and the articulatory positions of tongue suggested that perception may be directly linked to production. Further research problems were discussed in the .final section.

The purpose of this study was to clarify spatial composition of the staffs at nursing homes for the elderly with dementia. For this, the data was taken from the staffs in 2 nursing homes in Tokyo by the questionnaire from December4 to 28 in 2004. Replicated MDS (Multi-dimensional Scaling) was employed for data analysis. The results of the study were following. Staffs perceived nursing home by four spatial compositions; facility spaces as like sanitation room, laundry, bathroom, washroom, washbowl, social interaction spaces as like training room, inner court/balcony, living room, staff related spaces as like room for staff, treatment room, fundamental living spaces as like bedroom, dining room. According to two-dimensional perceptual map, sanitation room was wanted near by laundry, treatment room was wanted near by room for staff, bedroom was wanted near by dining room, and training room, living room were wanted near by inner court/balcony. On the other hand, washbowl and washroom were desired somewhere near by every spaces. Therefore, simple shaped washbowls are desired to install in dining room, living room, hallways. And sanitation room and laundry were desired somewhere remote by dining room, bedroom, and living room. Responding upper results, it is recommended planning for visual and sense of smell isolation in case of having difficulty in floor structure and circulation.
