The algorithm converges after 385 iterations, with a final penalized stress of 0.8140741. This statistic, the badness of fit, the goodness of fit, variation coefficients, and Shepard's index are all very similar to those for the solution using the classical Spearman start. DeSarbo's indices is somewhat different, with a value of 1.7571887 instead of 0.2199287, which suggests that the solution using the correspondence start is not as well mixed. To see how this affects the solution, look at the joint plot of the common space.
