Author's disclosures of potential conflict of interest are found at the end of this article. C linical trials in oncology continue to offer hope for tumor control. Such hope intensifies as the rapidly advancing knowledge from molecular biology, genetics, and immunology is more readily applied to targeted therapies. The ability to discern genomic or genetic risks and likelihood of response on a ...

We introduce Indented Pixel Tree Plots (IPTPs): a novel pixel-based visualization technique for depicting large hierarchies. It is inspired by the visual metaphor of indented outlines, omnipresent in graphical file browsers and pretty printing of source code. Inner vertices are represented as vertically arranged lines and leaf groups as horizontally arranged lines. A recursive layout algorithm ...

' Corresponding author. Abstract Scatter Plots are one of the most powerful and most widely used techniques for visual data exploration. A well-known problem is that scatter plots often have a high degree of overlap, which may occlude a significant portion of the data values shown. In this paper, we propose th e generalized scatter plot technique, which allows an overlap-free representation of ...

To analyze computer systems or compare them to one another, measurements are taken as the program runs. This is called a performance trace, and it can involve large amounts of time series data. Currently, statistical tools are used for analysis but this approach loses information by ignoring the ordered nature of the data. We propose improving computer performance metrics by viewing the compute...

Traditional box plots, described by Tukey in 1977, can be biased representations of geographic or spatial variables, since they do not take into account the areas associated with the elements of geographic variables. To help solve this problem, we propose and evaluate a spatially (areally) weighted box plot, a “geographic box plot,” that can be used to describe a wide variety of geographic vari...

The scatter plot is a well-known method of visualizing pairs of two continuous variables. Scatter plots are intuitive and easy-to-use, but often have a high degree of overlap which may occlude a significant portion of the data. To analyze a dense non-uniform dataset, a recursive drill-down is required for detailed analysis. In this paper, we propose variable binned scatter plots to allow the vi...

Multiple-quantile plots provide a powerful graphical method for comparing the distributions of two or more populations. This article develops a method of visualizing triple-quantile plots and their associated confidence tubes, thus extending the notion of a quantile-quantile (QQ) plot to three dimensions. More specifically, we consider three independent one-dimensional random samples with corre...
