Visualization of Variation and Variability

摘要: As datasets grow in size and complexity, the importance of comparison as a tool for analysis is growing. We define act analyzing variation or variability based on two more specific instances data. This thesis explores number cases spread across range comparisons, from within one entity through between entities to population. For each these we present an exploration tool, combining interaction with high-performance visualization rendering techniques, aim providing insight into given dataset. explore how different aspects application designed interactive visual can aid user. concerns both their initial new dataset, well ability drill down discoveries investigate underlying details. instance, multiple linked views be used combine highly abstract general-purpose problem-domain order allow user translate concepts profession. Interactive composition applied quickly focus areas interest, suppressing details which may not relevant at moment.
