MODULARISED the programs, so that instead of taking the entire library, you may choose which modules/programs you want to download. Each is a self-contained unit.

The programs are a subset of an earlier version, and do not include: MINI-CPA, PARAMAP, MVNDS or CONCOR. These are rarely-used programs, but  are still available on request, and are part of the SV3 Zipped download of MDSX.

The programs have been re-tested, and often include new test input data.

Each module/ unit contains:

The .exe file which implements the program [given the suffix .oxo since some email systems will not accept a downloaded .exe file. After receipt, rename the file as .exe]. We do not issue source versions of programs except to collaborating teams.

The test input data file for this program (as a .txt file)

The test output file from the run of the program on the test input data (as a .txt file). If necessary change the font to Courier and 7pt to prevent wrap-around.

The documentation for this program. All files are in .pdf format. 

Documentation consists of:  

Program Notes on the program, which explain where the program originates, what it does, what data are appropriate, what the documentation consists of, what the test data are, together with Comments, Hints and References, together with a note on the program’s usage and stability. This is the file to read if you are trying to decide whether or not to download a program. 

The relevant chapter from the pre-Windows version of MDS(X) User Manual (The “Red Book”), which gives technical detail about the program, including a specification of the relevant parameters.

Relevant section/s from The User’s Guide to Multidimensional Scaling (First Edition) explaining the methodology and operation of the program and its applications. In addition, there are sometimes:  

Special Working Papers, or sections from the Reader Key Texts in Multidimensional Scaling, associated with the program.

There is also a PRELIMINARY section, containing information on How to run the programs, Run-time error codes etc.  

All documentation is in .PDF format and requires "Acrobat Reader". Click on the "Adobe" icon for a free download of "Acrobat Reader":
