Overview • Motivation • Statistics Library for Information Visualization • Sample Application • Conclusions Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
Motivation • Information visualization and statistical methods try to enable a better insight into data • The same goal is reached by different means Information Visualization Statistical Routines • User’s pattern recognition system • Creates interactively modifiable graphics • Allows interactive efficient information drill-down • Low dimensional features are easily detected and analyzed. • Linked views allow interactive investigation of functional coherences. • Today’s computational possibilities • Computation of facts, summaries, models, ... • A large variety of algorithms for specific tasks (clustering, dimension reduction,...) • Based on the knowledgeable theory of data exploration • Considers multivariate relationships • Results can be easily reproduced Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
Aim of this work • Put user’s input and algorithmic capabilities on the same level. • Let them interactively communicate • Show that the interactive combination of the strength of both fields makes visual data mining more efficient.

Statistics Library for InfoViz • Find the most important statistical functions for explorative data analysis. • Clustering (Hierarchical approaches, partitional heuristics) • Dimension reduction (MDS, PCA, SOM) • Transformation of Dimensions (Linear vs. non-linear) • Statistical Moments (classic vs. robust) • Regression Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
Statistics Library for InfoViz • Additionally include innovative concepts • Robustness • Reduce influence of outliers • Detect outliers • Integration of multivariate outlier identification • Fuzzyness • Data comes from real world • The real world is not based on bits!-) • Integrate uncertainty in clustering by fuzzy k means Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
Statistics Library for InfoViz • Fuzzy k means (UVW dataset - 149 769 data items) Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
Statistics Library for InfoViz • Create hooks of interaction • Allow the interactive communication between algorithm and the user. • Immediate updates of summaries based on selections • Translation of user action into parameter settings • Starting algorithms based on previous results Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
Sample Application • Interactive Clustering (Letter image recognition data – 4640 data items, 6 groups) Enhancing Interactive Visual Data Analysis by Statistical Functionality October 23, 2019
