Seeing
Your Data
|
|
ViSta's
highly
dynamic and very interactive statistical visualizations
are designed to help you see what your data seem
to say
and have fun doing it!
|
- Dynamic,
High-Interaction, Multi-View Graphics:
ViSta
constructs very-high-interaction, dynamic graphics
that show you multiple views of your data simultaneously.
The graphics are designed to augment your visual
intuition so that you can better understand your
data.
- Statistical
Visualization and Hypothesis Testing::
Given
the appropriate statistical visualizations, you
can effortlessly generate "guesses" about
the meaning of your data. These guess can be formalized
as hypotheses to be tested by the appropriate technique.
- "Seeing
What Your Data Seem To Say"
- A visually intuitive and computationally intensive
approach to statistical data analysis designed to
clarify the meaning of data.
- John
Tukey, in his Exploratory
Data Analysis book, uses the phrase to remind
us that our job, as data analysts is to understand
what our data is telling us..
- "Seem
to Say" --- the best we can
do is to understand what we perceive, not the
reality itself (whatever that is)
- Premise:
Many simultaneous, dynamic, highly interactive
data views which are linked
with the user and with
each other provide
the best opportunity for appropriate insight.
- Computationally
Intensive:
To do this, one must transfer all of the effort
from the user to the computer: Effortless
for the user, Intensive for the computer.
As computational Statisticians we should focus on
the user, not the computer.
- Intelligence
Augmentation (IA) not Artificial Intelligence (AI):
We should aim to augment the intelligence of the
user, not to create an artificial intelligence in
the computer.
