Cox, Trevor F.; Cox, Michael A. A. Multidimensional scaling. 2nd ed. (English) Zbl 1004.91067 Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability. 88. Boca Raton, FL: Chapman & Hall/ CRC. ix, 308 p. (2001). The book under review is a comprehensive and rather self-contained text on Multidimensional (MD) Scaling.
