Weight

One of the types of objects in Praat.

An object of type Weight represents a matrix with weights wij.

An object of type Weight selected together with an onject of type Dissimilarity can be used to make distinctions in the importance of the contribution of each individual dissimilarity δij to stress and therefore to the final configuration. Weights can be used for instance to code for missing values, i.e., take wij = 0 if dissimilarity δij is missing and wij = 1 if δij is known.
