Classical multidimensional scaling (MDS)

Parameters

D ((n, n) array) – Symmetric distance matrix.

Returns

  • Y ((n, p) array) – Configuration matrix. Each column represents a dimension. Only the p dimensions corresponding to positive eigenvalues of B are returned. Note that each dimension is only determined up to an overall sign, corresponding to a reflection.

  • e ((n,) array) – Eigenvalues of B.
