Abstract
A method for fitting a perfect simplex [Guttman, 1954] is suggested which, in contrast to Kaiser's [1962], is independent of the order of the manifest variables. It is based on a procedure for scaling a set of points from their pairwise distances [Torgerson, 1958; Young & Householder, 1938] which is reviewed in compact notation in the Appendix. The method is extended to an iterative algorithm for fitting a quasi-simplex. Some empirical results are included.

A compact notation for obtaining and handling matrices of partial derivatives is suggested in an attempt to generalize "symbolic vector differentiation" toMatrices of independent variables with deliberate limitation on classes of scalar functions considered: traces and determinants.
