@article{fdi:010074791, title = {{M}ultidimensional scaling with very large datasets}, author = {{P}aradis, {E}mmanuel}, editor = {}, language = {{ENG}}, abstract = {{M}ultidimensional scaling has a wide range of applications when observations are not continuous but it is possible to define a distance (or dissimilarity) among them. {H}owever, standard implementations are limited when analyzing very large datasets because they rely on eigendecomposition of the full distance matrix and require very long computing times and large quantities of memory. {H}ere, a new approach is developed based on projection of the observations in a space defined by a subset of the full dataset. {T}he method is easily implemented. {A} simulation study showed that its performance are satisfactory in different situations and can be run in a short time when the standard method takes a very long time or cannot be run because of memory requirements.}, keywords = {{D}imension reduction ; {D}istance data ; {P}rojection method ; {R}andom matrices}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{J}ournal of {C}omputational and {G}raphical {S}tatistics}, volume = {27}, numero = {4}, pages = {935--939}, ISSN = {1061-8600}, year = {2018}, DOI = {10.1080/10618600.2018.1470001}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010074791}, }
