Abstract
With the advances in science and technology, a rapid growth of multidimensional (multivariate) datasets is observed in different fields. Projection and visualization of such data to a lower dimensional space without losing the data structure is a challenging task. We propose an interactive visual analytics tool that is applied for the combined analysis of multidimensional numerical and categorical data. The tool helps the analyst not only to find the clusters of similar objects but also to identify the important features specific to these clusters. The efficacy of the various functionalities of the tool is examined analyzing epidemiological data to understand the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea. Our approach helps the user to visually analyze the data and get a better understanding of the data. The tool would be a valuable resource for analysts working on numerical and categorical data.
期刊介绍:
Information Visualization is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of information visualization and is of interest to computer scientists and data analysts working on related specialisms. This journal is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles on fundamental research and applications of information visualization. The journal acts as a dedicated forum for the theories, methodologies, techniques and evaluations of information visualization and its applications.
The journal is a core vehicle for developing a generic research agenda for the field by identifying and developing the unique and significant aspects of information visualization. Emphasis is placed on interdisciplinary material and on the close connection between theory and practice.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
