Abstract
The data for MDS, proximities, are discussed. Proximities can be collected directly as judgments of similarity; proximities can be derived from data vectors; proximities may result from converting other indices; and co-occurrence data are yet another popular form of proximities.

The gravity model is based on a Newtonian law from physics that models the gravity forces between large masses such as the earth and the moon.
- 2.
Words such as “and”, “but”, “they” etc. were omitted.
