We surveyed a representative sample of 3,712 adults age 25+ from all socio-economic backgrounds and walks of life with the goal of creating a multi-dimensional portrait of leisure in retirement.
Primer V6 (PRIMER-E, Plymouth) was used to calculate Bray-Curtis similarities, to perform non-metric multi dimensional analysis (nMDS), and Analysis of Similarities (ANOSIM).
Nonmetric multi dimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis of the combined 20 samples showed the strong seasonal structuring of the community at L4 (Fig. 2).
Figure 1 shows an example of an inseparable two-dimensional space that becomes separable after the transformation of the input space from low dimensional to multi dimensional.
It also highlights the importance of inclusion of the role (school) functioning concept in measuring multi dimensional HRQOL.
Isomap was chosen over multi dimensional scaling approaches as it gave better results, in particular since dissimilarities are bounded from above (1 bit maximum).
The biggest surprise is the discovery of a three-dimensional portrait with highly individualized features.
It is the only three-dimensional portrait of Antinous identified as such by an inscription on the piece.
Luciano Botelho's soft-grained tenor helps him create a credibly three-dimensional portrait of the conflicted Ghino.
Alana Newhouse's article on Roman Vishniac's photographs focuses on the one-dimensional portrait of Eastern European Jewish life that they helped foster.
But she is not a trained actress, and she doesn't have the tools to round out Mr. Stolz's one-dimensional portrait.
