multidimensional scaling
definition: Multidimensional scaling (MDS) refers to a family of models in which the structure in a set of data is represented graphically by the relationships between a set of points in a space. MDS can be used on a wide variety of data, using different models and allowing different assumptions about the level of measurement.
