Abstract

This study focused on analyzing the reasons for purchase of ladies’ goods. The analysis used the three-way distance model. The model explains threeway distances as the subtraction of the smallest squared distance among the three squared distances from the sum of these squared distances. The formulation is used to illustrate the idea that relationships with many differences carry more information than relationships with few differences.
