The choice about whether some of the original values will be used in subsequent analysis does not directly influence the Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) selection procedure. MDS focuses on the distances or dissimilarities among items and is influenced by the type of data, the scale of data (perception or preference), and the level of analysis (individual or aggregate), rather than the use of original values in subsequent analyses.
