Fit Details

In the Multidimensional Scaling report, the Fit Details section provides statistics that summarize how well the MDS proximities match the actual proximities as well as details about transformations when used.

Stress

The value of the stress function (Stress1) that was minimized in the fitting procedure. Stress can be between 0 and 1 with lower values indicating a better fit.

RSquare

The R2 value for linear fit of the actual or transformed proximities versus the predicted proximities.

Slope

If a ratio or interval transformation was used, the slope for the transformation is provided. It is the slope of the linear regression of the actual against transformed proximities.

Intercept

If an interval transformation was used, the intercept for the transformation is provided. It is the intercept of the linear regression of the actual against transformed proximities.
