Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The guideline that warns about the difficulty of interpreting maps in more than three dimensions is the interpretability of the spatial map. Therefore, the best choice is B. The other guidelines (a priori knowledge, ease of use, elbow criterion) are also important for deciding on the number of MDS dimensions, but they are not specifically related to the interpretability of the map.
