Abstract
An experiment conducted by Taylor and Parkes (1975) to investigate the factorial ecology of a city within a time—space framework is reexamined by means of an alternative method. The original experiment used common-factor analysis (a two-mode procedure) in a three-mode problem. Using the published data of this experiment, the new method, Individual Differences Scaling (INDSCAL), identifies two major dimensions and defines their importance for each of the time periods being considered. INDSCAL has a greater potential as such a method, since it is capable of analyzing problems of up to seven-mode in nature.Keywords
