Applications
Applications include scientific visualisation and data mining in fields such as cognitive science, information science, psychophysics, psychometrics, marketing and ecology. New applications arise in the scope of autonomous wireless nodes that populate a space or an area. MDS may apply as a real time enhanced approach to monitoring and managing such populations.
Furthermore, MDS has been used extensively in geostatistics for modeling the spatial variability of the patterns of an image, by representing them as points in a lower-dimensional space.
