Star Coordinates: A Multi-dimensional Visualization Technique with Uniform Treatment of Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
Visualizing multi-dimensional data has tremendous effects on science, engineering, and business decisionmaking. A new visualization technique called Star Coordinates is presented to support users in early stages of their visual thinking activities. Star Coordinates arranges coordinates on a circle sharing the same origin at the center. It uses simply points to represent data, treating each dimension uniformly at the cost of coarse representation. Current implementation of Star Coordinates provided valuable insight on several real data sets for cluster discovery and multifactor analysis tasks. The work on Star Coordinates will continue on developing advanced transformations that will improve data understanding in multi-dimensions.

Extension of star coordinates into three dimensions
Selected References Traditional Star Coordinates displays a multi-variate data set by mapping it to two Cartesian dimensions. This technique facilitates cluster discovery and multi-variate analysis, but binding to two dimensions hides features of the data. Threedimensional Star Coordinates spreads out data elements to reveal features. This allows the user more intuitive freedom to explore and p...
متن کاملMLMD: Multi-Layered Visualization for Multi-Dimensional Data
Visualization and data mining techniques have for long been laying emphasis on high-dimensional data processing. In this paper, we propose a multi-layered visualization technique in 3D space called MLMD with its corresponding interaction techniques, for visualizing multi-dimensional data. Layers of point based plots are stacked and connected in a virtual visualization cube for comparison betwee...

Classification operations in a data-mining task are often performed using decision trees. The visual-based approach to decision tree construction has gained increasing popularity. We present StarClass, a new interactive visual classification method. This method maps multi-dimensional data to the visual display using star coordinates, allowing the user to interact with the display to create a de...
متن کاملVisual Hierarchical Dimension Reduction
Traditional visualization techniques for multidimensional data sets, such as parallel coordinates, star glyphs, and scatterplot matrices, do not scale well to high dimensional data sets. A common approach to solve this problem is dimensionality reduction. Existing dimensionality reduction techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis, Multidimensional Scaling, and Self Organizing Maps, have ...
متن کاملiStar (i*): An interactive star coordinates approach for high-dimensional data exploration
Star Coordinates is an important visualization method able to reveal patterns and groups from multidimensional data while still showing the impact of data attributes in the formation of such patterns and groups. Despite its usefulness, Star Coordinates bears limitations that impair its use in several scenarios. For instance, when the number of data dimensions is high, the resulting visualizatio...
