In symbolic data analysis, we can consider more complex dissimilarity data existing between objects. Dissimilarity between objects may be described in various ways, including using a single value, an interval, a histogram, and a distribution. Analysis of such data may be carried out using multidimensional scaling. For histogram-valued dissimilarity data, Groenen and Winsberg proposed the “Hist- Scal” algorithm, which focuses on the percentiles of histogram dissimilarities [3]. For the I-Scal algorithm [2], the solution is guaranteed to improved after every iteration. However, for the Hist-Scal algorithm, this improvement cannot be guaranteed since iterative majorization is used in combination with the weighted monotone regression. In this paper, we propose a new improved algorithm applicable to percentile dissimilarities, called “the hyperbox model Percen-Scal” algorithm. Since the algorithm is based on iterative majorization, an improvement in the solution is guaranteed after every iteration of the algorithm.We apply both the hyperbox model Percen-Scal and the Hist-Scal algorithms to artificial data and compare the results obtained from both methods. We then discuss the validity of the results produced using the hyperbox model Percen-Scal algorithm.
