Title: Similarities of colors with circle constraint
Source: Ekman (1954) and Borg and Groenen (1997, 2005)
Description: Similarities of colors with wavelengths from 434 to 674
nm. One extra object is introduced to simulate the center. There are
two similarity matrices: one contains the original data with missings
to the center object, the other contains a constant value between all
objects and the center object with the rest of the similarities
missing. The colors are (in nm):
434
445

Title: Ellipses
Source: Noma and Johnson (1977)
Description: A subject was asked to assess the similarity of 16
ellipses having different shapes and sizes. The ellipses were
constructed according varying eccentricity ("shape") and area
("size"). For example, ellipse 4 is very flat and long, but 13 is more
circular and also larger. The rated each pair of ellipses on a scale
from 1 (most similar) to 10 (least similar or most different). This
rating was replicated three times, with the pairs presented in
different random orders. The data contains the summed ratings for each
pair of ellipses.
Design of the 16 elipses:
Ellipse Shape Size
1 1 1
2 2 1
3 3 1
4 4 1
5 1 2
6 2 2
7 3 2

Title: Intelligence Tests Restriction Matrix
Source: Borg and Groenen (2005)
Description: Two data sets below each other. The first one contains
the intercorrelations of eight intelligence tests. The intelligence
tests are coded on the facets language = {N = numerical, G =
geometrical} and requirement = {A = application, I = inference} as
indicated below. The second data set contains the hypothesized
restriction matrix for the intercorrelations of eight intelligence
tests. The proximities for items with the same structuples, such as
p(NA1,NA2) and p(GA1,GA3), all are set to the value 5. The
proximities that correspond to the immediate neighborhood relations
are set to the value 4, since none of these distances should be
larger than any distance between definitionally equivalent items.
Finally, the large distances between the groups NI, GA and the groups
NA, GI are set to 3. The hypothesized data should be treated
ordinally, so that the values 3, 4, and 5 are immaterial and may be
replaced by any numbers that have the same order.
Test Language Requirement
1 N A
2 N A
3 N I
4 G I
5 G I
6 G A
7 G A

Title: Morse Code Confusions Stimuli Properties
Source: Rothkopf (1957)
Description:
Two properties of Morse code signals. Each Morse code signal is a
sequence of up to five 'beeps'. The beeps can be short (0.05 sec) or
long (0.15 sec), and, when there are two or more beeps in a signal,
they are separated by periods of silence (0.05 sec). The two external
variables are:
- Signal type:
1 = All short beeps
2 = More short than long beeps
3 = Same short and long beeps
4 = More long than short beeps
5 = All long beeps
- Signal length (in seconds):
1 = .05
2 = .15
3 = .25
4 = .35
5 = .45
6 = .55
7 = .65
8 = .85
9 = .95
The morse codes are:

Title: Protest acts restrictions
Source: Levy (1983)
Description: Facet data of thirty stimuli used to describe forms of protest
acts described. The three facets are:
- Facet A: Modality of the attitude towards the protest act
+ 1 = evaluation
+ 2 = approval
+ 3 = likelihood of own overt action
- Facet B: Strength of execution of the protest act
+ 1 = demanding
+ 2 = obstrctive
+ 3 = physically damaging
- Facet C: Way to carry out the protest act
+ 1 = omission
+ 2 = commision
The protest acts (and thus the data) are:
Item Description A B C

Title: Tonal Stimuli
Source: Levelt, Geer, and Plomp (1966)
Description: Two data sets on tonal stimuli; the first one contains
similarity data, the second one the hypothesized data. The data are similarity
coefficients for tonal stimuli. Each stimulus consisted of two
simultaneously heard tones with a fixed ratio between their
frequencies. Fifteen stimuli were used: the twelve musical intervals
within the octave; and in addition two wider intervals (4:9 and 2:5)
and one narrow interval between minor and major second (11:12). To
control for pitch effects, the mean frequency for each interval was
held constant at 500 Hz.
The items are as follows:
Freq. Ratio No. (=variable name)
15:16 15
11:12 13
8:09 12
5:06 7
4:05 6
