Title

sqmdsadd -- Adds solution of MDS on dissimilarity matrix to sequence data

Syntax

sqmdsadd using filename [, keep(varlist)]

Description

sqmdsadd merges the solution of a multi dimensional scaling (MDS) on the
distance matrix created by sqom.

The official Stata command mdsmat can be used at any time
to run a MDS on SQdist, which is the name of the distance matrix from
sqom. The values for the MDS dimensions are created with the
post-estimation command predict, which requires the
specification of a filename holding the predictions. This file should
be added to the original sequence data with mdsadd.

Options

With keep(varlist) only the variables of varlist are added to
the sequence data. This is seldom used.
