Motivation Information visualization and statistical methods try to enable a

better insight into data

The same goal is reached by different means

User’s pattern recognition system

Creates interactively modifiable graphics

Allows interactive efficient information drill-down

Low dimensional features are easily detected and analyzed.

Linked views allow interactive investigation of functional coherences.

Statistical RoutinesInformation Visualization

Today’s computational possibilities

Computation of facts, summaries, models, ...

A large variety of algorithms for specific tasks (clustering, dimension reduction,...)

Based on the knowledgeable theory of data exploration

Considers multivariate relationships

Results can be easily reproduced

Aim of this work

Put user’s input and algorithmic capabilities on the same level.

Let them interactively communicate

Show that the interactive combination of the strength of both fields makes visual data mining more efficient.

Find the most important statistical functions for explorative data analysis. Clustering (Hierarchical approaches, partitional

heuristics) Dimension reduction (MDS, PCA, SOM) Transformation of Dimensions (Linear vs. non-

linear) Statistical Moments (classic vs. robust) Regression
