title: Olfactory receptor response characteristics: a reevaluation.
abstract: The activity of single olfactory receptor cells previously reported was reexamined using Guttman-Lingoes multidimensional scaling, cluster analysis and factor analysis. These analyses were compared and contrasted with similar analyses using another olfactory unit data set and a color vision receptor data set. Questions were raised regarding the interpretation of the results of these analyses for any of the data sets employed.
