MDS_CS

Classical scaling

    W = MDS_CS(D,N)

Input
D	Square dissimilarity matrix of the size M x M
N	Desired output dimensionality (optional; default: 2)

Output
W	Classical scaling mapping

Description

A linear mapping of objects given by a symmetric distance matrix D with  a zero diagonal onto an N-dimensional Euclidean space such that the square  distances are preserved as much as possible.

D is assumed to approximate the Euclidean distances, i.e.  D_{ij} = sqrt(sum_k (x_i-x_j)^2).
