Test Data Sets for Evaluating Data Visualization Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we take a step toward addressing a pressing general problem in the development of data visualization systems — how to measure their effectiveness. The step we take is to define a model for specifying the generation of test data that can be employed for standardized and quantitative testing of a system’s performance. These test data sets, in conjunction with appropriate testing procedures, can provide a basis for certifying the effectiveness of a visualization system and for conducting comparative studies to steer system development.

A new approach for data visualization problem
Data visualization is the process of transforming data, information, and knowledge into visual form, making use of humans’ natural visual capabilities which reveals relationships in data sets that are not evident from the raw data, by using mathematical techniques to reduce the number of dimensions in the data set while preserving the relevant inherent properties. In this paper, we formulated d...
متن کاملDesigning Pixel-Oriented Visualization Techniques: Theory and Applications
ÐVisualization techniques are of increasing importance in exploring and analyzing large amounts of multidimensional information. One important class of visualization techniques which is particularly interesting for visualizing very large multidimensional data sets is the class of pixel-oriented techniques. The basic idea of pixel-oriented visualization techniques is to represent as many data ob...
