Any process of reconstruction that leaves comparative distance<br />

information intact is called ordinal multidimensional scaling or isotonic<br />

reconstruction. Beyond rotation, reflection, and translation error, (5.5)<br />

list reconstruction by isotonic reconstruction is subject to error in absolute<br />

scale (dilation) and distance ratio. Yet Borg & Groenen argue: [46,2.2]<br />

reconstruction from complete comparative distance information for a large<br />

number of points is as highly constrained as reconstruction from an EDM;<br />

the larger the number, the better.<br />

5.13.2.1 Isotonic map of the USA<br />

To test Borg & Groenen’s conjecture, suppose we make a complete sort-index<br />

matrix O ∈ S N h ∩ R N×N<br />

+ for the map of the USA and then substitute O in place<br />

of EDM D in the reconstruction process of5.12. Whereas EDM D returned<br />

only three significant eigenvalues (1045), the sort-index matrix O is generally<br />

not an EDM (certainly not an EDM with corresponding affine dimension 3)<br />

so returns many more. The eigenvalues, calculated with absolute numerical<br />

error approximately 5E-7, are plotted in Figure 111: (In the code on<br />

Wıκımization, matrix O is normalized by (N(N −1)/2) 2 .)<br />
