چکیده

Abstract: Visualization can help in model building, diagnosis, and in developing an understanding about how a model summarizes data. This paper proposes three strategies for visualizing statistical models: (1) display the model in the data space, (2) look at all members of a collection, and (3) explore the process of model fitting, not just the end result. Each strategy is accompanied by examples, including manova, classification algorithms, hierarchical clustering, ensembles of linear models, projection pursuit, self organizing maps and neural networks.

Beyond model visualization for multidimensional data: high-dimension and complex non numeric data

We greatly appreciate the opportunity to read and discuss the paper “Visualizing statistical models: removing the blindfold” [42]. The article manages to close the gap between statistics and visualization by combining advanced methods from both fields to visualize statistical models and methods. The article provides a very nice overview of visualization tools for statistical models, which can b...

Visualizing Data, Visualizing Models: Getting Priorities Right When Analyzing Data

We discuss methods of visualizing data and statistical models. The key innovation underlying these methods is that specialized graphs illustrate underlying patterns in data and they illustrate the properties of the statistical model that are used to analyze the data. These visualization techniques provide ways of understanding the underlying relation between variables, can illustrate how the st...

Self-experience as a mechanism for learning about others: a training study in social cognition.

Using a gaze-following task, the authors assessed whether self-experience with the view-obstructing properties of blindfolds influenced infants' understanding of this effect in others. In Experiment 1, 12-month-olds provided with blindfold self-experience behaved as though they understood that a person wearing a blindfold cannot see. When a blindfolded adult turned to face an object, these infa...
