Description: Implements the following approaches for multidimensional
        scaling (MDS) based on stress minimization using majorization
        (smacof): ratio/interval/ordinal/spline MDS on symmetric
        dissimilarity matrices, MDS with external constraints on the
        configuration, individual differences scaling (idioscal,
        indscal), MDS with spherical restrictions, and
        ratio/interval/ordinal/spline unfolding (circular restrictions,
        row-conditional). Various tools and extensions like jackknife
        MDS, bootstrap MDS, permutation tests, MDS biplots, gravity
        models, unidimensional scaling, drift vectors (asymmetric MDS),
        classical scaling, and Procrustes are implemented as well.
