Feb 26, 2013 at 19:37 comment added ttnphns @Dzung, you should consult your software documentation. MDS implementations vary in how they preprocess input proximity matrices, How and when they convert a similarity into a distance etc.
Feb 26, 2013 at 19:21 comment added Peter Flom That's not a bug, it's a feature! :-). Seriously, isn't this a desirable behavior?
Feb 26, 2013 at 18:30 comment added ttnphns This is because MDS software which converts similarities into dissimilarities do it other way than by formula sqrt(1-similarity). That formula - precisely, sqrt[2(1-similarity)] -- is best to convert Pearson correlation or cosine into euclidean distance, so it isn't universal.
