Abstract

Generalized image analysis is considered as a logical algebraic extension of Guttmanian image analysis. Under the assumption that a reduced-rank description of the images is desired, a procedure is developed which achieves the scale-free property by simultaneously rescaling in the metrics of both the images and anti-images, and which produces images and anti-images that are maximally independent in terms of the dimensions needed to account for them.
