Visualization Of Multidimensional Data With Collocated Paired Coordinates And General Line Coordinates, Boris Kovalerchuk

All Faculty Scholarship for the College of the Sciences

Often multidimensional data are visualized by splitting n-D data to a set of low dimensional data. While it is useful it destroys integrity of n-D data, and leads to a shallow understanding complex n-D data. To mitigate this challenge a difficult perceptual task of assembling low-dimensional visualized pieces to the whole n-D vectors must be solved. Another way is a lossy dimension reduction by mapping n-D vectors to 2-D vectors (e.g., Principal Component Analysis). Such 2-D vectors carry only a part of information from n-D vectors, without a way to restore n-D vectors exactly from it. An alternative way for …
