A Tool for Analyzing Categorical Data Visually with Granular Representation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Categorical data appears in various places, and dealing with it has been a major concern in analysis fields. However, representing not only global trends but also local trends of data simultaneously by conventional techniques is difficult. We propose a visualization method called “granular representation” for analyzing categorical data visually. Our approach visually represents data as a set of objects and allows intuitive analysis instead of the traditional way with tables of numbers. We developed a tool by integrating granular representation and bar charts. The effectiveness of the tool is demonstrated using real data about media consumption.

Interactive Exploration of Multivariate Categorical Data: Exploiting Ranking Criteria to Reveal Patterns and Outliers
Analyzing multivariate datasets requires users to understand distributions of single variables and at least the two-way relationships between the variables. Lower-dimension projection techniques may assist users in finding interesting combinations. To explore the 2D relationships in a systematic way, we suggest ranking such relationships according to some measure of interestingness. This approa...
متن کاملOptimal Scaling of Interaction Effects in Generalized Linear Models.
Multiplicative interaction models, such as Goodman's (1981) RC(M) association models, can be a useful tool for analyzing the content of interaction effects. However, most models for interaction effects are suitable only for data sets with two or three predictor variables. Here, we discuss an optimal scaling model for analyzing the content of interaction effects in generalized linear models with...

We present NetEvViz, a visualization tool to help analysis of dynamic and static network data. While there are a few tools for analyzing static networks, where edge or node addition or deletion does not feature, there are none publicly available that deal with dynamic networks that change with time. Our tool is a Microsoft Excel plug-in and extends the codebase of NodeXL, a popular network visu...
متن کاملApplication of Benford’s Law in Analyzing Geotechnical Data
Benford’s law predicts the frequency of the first digit of numbers met in a wide range of naturally occurring phenomena. In data sets, following Benford’s law, numbers are started with a small leading digit more often than those with a large leading digit. This law can be used as a tool for detecting fraud and abnormally in the number sets and any fabricated number sets. This can be used as an ...
