Abstract
The decomposition of any square matrix in symmetric and skew- symmetric components has inspired many methods in asymmetric multidimensional scaling (reviews are provided e.g. in Zielman and Heiser 1996; Bove and Rocci 1999; Borg and Groenen 2005; Saito and Yadohisa 2005). Separate analyzes of the two components seem preferable when symmetry is much more relevant in the data or when we want to represent separately skew-symmetric residuals of statistical models (e.g. symmetry or quasi-symmetry). In this paper two and three-way methods for the analysis of skew-symmetry are reviewed focalizing on multidimensional models with graphical capabilities.
