________ is a squared correlation index that indicates the proportion of variance of the optimally scaled data that can be accounted for by the MDS procedure.This is a goodness-of-fit measure.
A)Attribute levels
B)Stress
C)R-square
D)Relative importance weights

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

R-square is a goodness-of-fit measure that indicates the proportion of variance of the optimally scaled data that can be accounted for by the MDS procedure. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A (attribute levels) and option D (relative importance weights) are not related to the definition given in the question. Option B (stress) is a measure of the discrepancy between the distances in the original space and the distances in the reduced MDS space, and not a goodness-of-fit measure.
