Visualization of Enrollment Data using Chord Diagrams

چکیده
Distance and online universities have usually more flexible academic requirements than brick-and-mortar ones, so students do not uniformly advance within the programme they enroll into as they are supposed to. Furthermore, due to their intrinsic nature, distance students need additional support for deciding which subjects they will take every semester. On the other hand, teachers have usually no idea about what other subjects are taking the students enrolled in their subjects. This paper proposes the use of chord diagrams for visualizing the relationships between pairs of subjects taken by students, with the aim of providing both university managers and students with a clear picture of possible bottlenecks, that is, combinations of subjects that might affect students’ performance. Chord diagrams can be used to analyze intra-semester data (subjects taken simultaneously) and inter-semester data (sequences of subjects taken by students) and provide a fast overview of what is happening within a given programme at subject level. Furthermore, it is possible to interact with chord diagrams in order to filter and obtain additional subject details if desired.

متن کاملPartial chord diagrams and matrix models
In this article, the enumeration of partial chord diagrams is discussed via matrix model techniques. In addition to the basic data such as the number of backbones and chords, we also consider the Euler characteristic, the backbone spectrum, the boundary point spectrum, and the boundary length spectrum. Furthermore, we consider the boundary length and point spectrum that unifies the last two typ...

In this paper we study the enumeration of diagrams of n chords joining 2n points on a circle in disjoint pairs. We establish limit laws for the following three parameters: number of components, size of the largest component, and number of crossings. We also nd exact formulas for the moments of the distribution of number of components and number of crossings. Key-words: Analytic combinatorics, c...

Data journalists have to deal with complex heterogeneous data sources such as dynamic, directed, and weighted graphs. But there is a lack of suitable visualization tools for this specific domain and data structure. The aim of this paper is to give an overview of existing publications and web projects in this area by classifying the works in a systematic characterization that adapts existing cha...
