“…With asymmetric data, the most popular seriation objective function has been to find the ordering of the stimuli maximizing the sum of the elements within one triangle (say, the lower triangle) which simultaneously minimizes the (Baker & Hubert, 1977), dynamic programming (Hubert & Arabie, 1986;Hubert & Golledge, 1981), and simulated annealing (De Soete et al, 1988) The seriation algorithm presented here is a slight adaptation of a nonmetric counting rule suggested by Hubert and Golledge (1981) and has relationships to early procedures proposed by Kendall (1955) and Flueck and Korsh (1974). From (Younger, 1963) (Hubert, 1976, pp. 35, 44 Rodgers, 1988 Table 5.…”
