Steps to reproduce
The thesis presents a multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis of major economic indicators in the Philippines to construct statistical indices. All data sources are included in the uploaded dataset files. Researchers can reproduce the analysis by applying standard MDS techniques using statistical software or manual calculations, following the methodology described in the thesis chapters. All variables, calculations, and results are fully documented in the PDF.
