Procrustean methods, despite their being named after a gruesome character who stretched his guests on the rack or cut off their legs to fit a bed, are useful in transforming one set of data to represent another as much as possible. Gower (statistics, Open U. Milton Keynes) and Duksterhuis (economics, U. of Groningen) explain these transformations starting with their simplest forms, and then proceeding to two-set Procrustes problems, including those that employ orthogonal, projection, and oblique methods. They describe weighting, scaling, and missing values, and then generalized problems. They examine analyzing the variance framework, incorporating information in variables, achieving accuracy and stability, and linking with other methods. They also describe applications such as sensory analysis, market research, and biometric identification, and offer notes on comparing criteria, algorithms, and models. Appendices include material on configurations, rotations and reflections, orthogonal projections, oblique axes, a minimalization problem, and symmetric matrix products.
