dis: numeric matrix or dist object of a matrix of proximities
theta: the theta vector of explicit parameters; the first is kappa (for the fitted distances), the second lambda (for the observed proximities), the third nu (for the weights), the fourth tau (for the neighbourhood), the fifth the epsilon for the geodesic distances. If a scalar or vector shorter than 5 is given it is recycled. Defaults to 1 1 1 100 10.
type: MDS type.
weightmat: (optional) a matrix of nonnegative weights
init: (optional) initial configuration
ndim: number of dimensions of the target space
itmaxi: number of iterations
...: additional arguments to be passed to the fitting procedure
stressweight: weight to be used for the fit measure; defaults to 1
structures: a character vector listing the structure indices to use. They always are called "cfoo" with foo being the structure.
strucweight: weight to be used for the structures; defaults to 1/number of structures
strucpars: a list of parameters for the structuredness indices; each list element corresponds to one index in the order of the appearance in structures
verbose: numeric value hat prints information on the fitting process; >2 is extremely verbose
stoptype: which weighting to be used in the multi-objective optimization? Either 'additive' (default) or 'multiplicative'.
registry: registry object with c-structuredness indices.
Returns
A list with the components
stress: the stress-1 value
stress.m: default normalized stress
stoploss: the weighted loss value
struc: the structuredness indices
parameters: the parameters used for fitting (kappa, lambda, nu, tau)
