We are organizing an International Colloquium on the topic of "New Paradigms, Culture and Subjectivity", in Buenos Aires on October 20-27 1991, that we would like to inform the network about. This colloquium provides an unusual opportunity for therapists, researchers, thinkers, to meet and exchange ideas in a creative context. It also provides an opportunity to encounter Latin America.

Mark Reboul mark@cuccfa.ccc.columbia.edu Subject: Software for 1- or 2-dimensional seriation Can anybody out there tell me about the existence and availability of software for one- or two-dimensional seriation of stimuli from binary (Yes/No) response data? I work with molecular biologists who have a new experimental technique for their DNA work. Their data processing requirement is, I believe, analogous to what I am asking about. Their experiment deals with very many fragments of DNA from one long stretch of chromosome. The fragments have different (and unknown) sizes. Out of all the possible pairs of fragments, some pairs overlap but most do not. The experiment will reveal all overlaps and, implicitly, all nonoverlaps. We would like to have a program deduce a reasonable linear order of the fragments from this overlap/nonoverlap data alone. For now, assume the overlap data are errorless. We will not know how long any of the fragments are. We will not know to what degree any pair of fragments overlaps, only that a pair does or does not overlap. Thus, our data are totally discrete and absolutely "scaleless" at that. The best we can hope for is some kind of schematic ordering of the fragments, although we certainly won't care if it comes out of an analytical calculation. We recognize the possibility that there may be more than one "correct" solution for any given set of overlap data. It has been suggested to me that some psychologists may know about calculations involving data of this type, and that's why I'm asking my question in this forum. Can anybody help me? A subsidiary question.... Might multi-dimensional scaling techniques be relevant? I am concerned about the highly non-metric nature of our data, where one value encodes "nonoverlap" no matter how far apart two nonoverlapping fragments might be. I have run a few tests on a sample fragment configuration using the ALSCAL command of the SPSS-X package, but the results are inconclusive. Comments? Thanks to any and all who respond. Please reply directly to me, as I don't subscribe to this list. -- Mark Reboul Columbia University Comprehensive Cancer Center Computing Facility College of Physicians and Surgeons, Room 1-420 630 West 168th Street New York, NY 10032 Bitnet mark@cuccfa Internet mark@cuccfa.ccc.columbia.edu [128.59.97.1] (212) 305-7360 End of PSYCOLOQUY Digest ******************************
