Before revision:  We conduct  computational experiments that quantitatively compare the 1D orderings produced by our stable dimensionality-reduction methods to various state-of-the-art approaches using a set of well-established quality metrics that capture spatial quality and stability.
After revision:  We conduct extensive computational experiments that quantitatively compare the 1D orderings produced by our stable dimensionality-reduction methods to various state-of-the-art approaches using a set of well-established quality metrics that capture spatial quality and stability.
