Using Chernoff Face Plots For Burglary Suspect Prioritisation
نویسنده
چکیده
Most good quantitative analysis begins with data exploration. However, when there are many variables how can one summarise and compare cases in terms of all values? The first two Principal Components are often plotted which can, for example, reveal clusters. However, implementation and interpretation of such a method requires a moderate level of statistical skill and there is no guarantee that meaningful components will emerge. This paper presents another graphical method, namely Chernoff Face Plots, in the context of matching suspects to crimes. Sizes of facial features are mapped to values of variables. The underlying reasoning is that humans have a highly developed ability to recognise and distinguish faces. Similar cases produce similar faces whereas outliers 'stand out from the crowd'. In this study a face is produced for 43 suspects based on crime characteristics. Faces for 3 new crimes are drawn and an attempt made to identify correct suspects.

Social stressor tasks induce adolescents' social distress as indexed by low-cost psychophysiological methods. Unknown is how to incorporate these methods within clinical assessments.

From simple color-coding to more intricate forms like the “Chernoff face”, glyphs are a means of visualizing multidimensional data. The spatial design of products for their users presents a unique opportunity for using glyphs as a visual metaphor for encoding data, chiefly due to the multivariate nature of many commonly encountered problems. While relatively intricate glyphs called “Digital Hum...
متن کاملThe Application of V-system in Visualization of Multidimensional Data1
Chernoff face is a technique of multidimensional data visualization in multivariate statistics. This paper proposes a new method to quantify the overall features of Chernoff faces, and presents a new programmed method for clustering Chernoff faces. Using this method misjudgment caused by human eyes can be avoided. Moreover, people can further evaluate the samples if the evaluation standard is g...
