| Subject | st: mds plot adding reference questions |
| Date | Wed, 9 Feb 2011 12:23:36 +0100 |
I am trying to make an MDS analysis in Stata 10. I am working with a "normal" dataset (I do not use the dissimilarity matrix) and the mds command. I have 20 political actors and 15 questions they respond to with values from 1-5 (ordinal). I am now trying, not only to map the actors'position in the political space basing on the 15 questions; but I am also trying to plot the questions (they respond to) in the mds output plot, so that interpretation becomes easier. Unfortunately, I cannot find out how to do this. Furthermore, I did not find any book or tutorial for mds in stata 10, maybe someone could help me with a reference? I would highly appreciate any help, thank you a lot.
