Abstract

Procrustean analysis is extended here to the case where matrices have different row order. Using a definition system in the sense of facet theory, fitting transformations are determined for the set of centroids that represent common substantive equivalence classes of all or some matrices. The resulting operators are used to transform the original matrices. An index, Δ, which is consistent with this approach expresses the goodness of fit.
