Abstract

        The purpose of this paper is to present a short overview of recent developments of global optimization in least squares multidimensional scaling. Three promising candidates - the genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, and distance smoothing - are discussed in more detail and compared on a data set arising in mobile communication.
