L-scaling

This paper introduces L-scaling, which computes scaled scores from multivariate data. We demonstrate the uniqueness, positivity and equivariance of the L-scaling weights. The relationship of L-scaling to ANOVA and principal components is explained, robustness and inference are discussed, and an analogy in mechanics is mentioned. Finally, L- scaling is used to summarize the cost of living in 15 U. S. cities in 1988.
