Dendrogram seriation in data visualisation: algorithms and applications
Seriation is a data analytic tool for obtaining a permutation of a set of objects with the goal of revealing structural information within the set of objects. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and develop tools for seriation with the goal of using these tools to enhance data …

A Comparison of Methods for Seriation and Unidimensional Scaling of Asymmetric Proximity Data
Scaling and seriation of objects have a long history in psychology, anthropology, and statistics. Data in the form of asymmetric proximity matrices occur when we have observations from paired comparisons, round-robin tournaments, and networks. Skew-symmetric matrices are obtained by taking the …

Exploring the occupational history of the Middle Ontario Iroquoian Dorchester Village site
… features and palisades, in conjunction with seriation of ceramic vessels, are used to explore the developmental history of the Dorchester Village site, a complex Late Woodland Middle Ontario Iroquoian archaeological village site, as a case study of intrasite seriation. Vessel attributes were …

Matrix estimation with latent permutations
Motivated by various applications such as seriation, network alignment and ranking from pairwise comparisons, we study the problem of estimating a structured matrix with rows and columns shuffled by latent permutations, given noisy and incomplete observations of its entries. This problem is at the …

An Attempt to Determine a Hierarchy in the Acquisition of Elementary Mathematics Concepts
… one-to-one correspondence, ordination, seriation, classification, and conservation. Responses to the items were recorded by the examiner as either correct or incorrect. Green's (1956) Scalogram Analysis was used with the data to determine whether or not a hierarchy did exist in the …

Sex Differences in Cognitive Performance on Piaget-Like Tasks: A Meta-Analysis of Findings
… superiority of girls in classification and seriation, boys slightly but consistently outperformed girls in the cognitive operations such as conservation, spatial visualization, proportional reasoning, disembedding, and field articulation. The overall magnitude of effect size, however, was …

THE HALAF AND THE UBAID PERIODS IN THE EASTERN TIGRIS REGION: A MULTI-SCALAR APPROACH FOR DOCUMENTING CULTURAL CHANGE
… shapes are detected through a chrono-typological seriation. Similarly, the adoption of the modular mud brick and the emphasis on rectangular spaces point towards a growing regularity in spatial planning. The dynamics seen at Helawa are then linked to contemporary sequences in the Mosul, Qara Dagh, …
