Abstract
We consider an extension of eigenvector analysis to the data represented by many-way matrices. The results obtained from a non-linear eigenvalue problem can be interpreted as principal components (PC) of the items in each direction of a multimode matrix. Such generalized PC can be used for clarifying the internal structural relationships between variables, visualization of multispace data, ranking objects, and other aims of multicriteria decision analysis.
