The book provides the know-how for prominent methods of asymmetric MDS: analysis of asymmetric relationships and the efficient use of programs of asymmetric MDS based on a distance model. These features will facilitate the work of researchers and enlighten students in disciplines such as statistics, psychology, sociology, education, marketing science, medicine, education, and other fields. Support is provided for practitioners in these areas who are, for instance, developing new products or services, investigating dominance relationships among brands or products, researching the use of antibiotics against resistance bacteria, and developing items for tests. This informative book demonstrates the analyses of data from diverse areas to show how asymmetric relationships are prevalent in real-world relationships and helps readers grasp the meanings and implications of those relationships. The results of the analyses illustrate the importance of analyzing asymmetric relationships that cannot be perceived by analysis using traditional methods, which ignore asymmetry in the data. . 410 0$aBehaviormetrics: Quantitative Approaches to Human Behavior,$x2524-4035 ;$v19 606 $aMathematical statistics$xData processing 606 $aStatistics 606 $aPsychometrics 606 $aMarketing 606 $aSocial sciences$xData processing 606 $aStatistics and Computing 606 $aApplied Statistics 606 $aStatistical Theory and Methods 606 $aPsychometrics 606 $aMarketing 606 $aComputer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences 615 0$aMathematical statistics$xData processing. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aPsychometrics. 615 0$aMarketing. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xData processing. 615 14$aStatistics and Computing. 615 24$aApplied Statistics. 615 24$aStatistical Theory and Methods. 615 24$aPsychometrics. 615 24$aMarketing. 615 24$aComputer Application in Social and Behavioral Sciences. 676 $a519.535 700 $aOkada$b Akinori$01424884 701 $aImaizumi$b Tadashi$01780645 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917794903321 996 $aApplied Multidimensional Scaling of Asymmetric Relationships$94304973 997 $aUNINA
