Description
Two matrices are produced being the
coordinates of the subject points and the
stimulus points in the required dimensions.
Similarly, two solution matrices are listed.
Three matrices are listed:
1.The distances between the subject points.
2.The distances between the stimulus points.
3.The distances between the subjects and the
stimuli.
The matrix of disparities (DHAT's).
The matrix of residuals is listed.
This keyword generates an extremely detailed
history of the iterative process. Users are
warned that this option generates a large
amount of output.
By default only the final configurations and the final STRESS value
are listed.
