Description: Contains various functions for optimal scaling. One
        function performs optimal scaling by maximizing an aspect (i.e.
        a target function such as the sum of eigenvalues, sum of
        squared correlations, squared multiple correlations, etc.) of
        the corresponding correlation matrix. Another function performs
        implements the LINEALS approach for optimal scaling by
        minimization of an aspect based on pairwise correlations and
        correlation ratios. The resulting correlation matrix and
        category scores can be used for further multivariate methods
        such as structural equation models.
