    Study Notes

    Data Sets and Classification

    • A consists of the names of the 10 food products most often bought by each customer.
    • B consists of the number of times each customer has bought each of the 10 products most frequently bought in the supermarket.
    • These data sets can be classified as two tables, or a table and a multidimensional table, according to Munzner's classification.

    Dimensional Reduction Algorithms

    • Fine-grained local detail and high-level clusters are important in data analysis.
    • Algorithms suitable for this type of analysis include tSNE and UMAP, but not the Spring model.

    Data Collection and Evaluation

    • Data collected by observation is not always subjective.
    • Data collected for an evaluation is typically quantitative.
    • Data collected by questionnaire may not always be valuable, but it is easy to collect.

    Formative and Summative Evaluation

    • Formative evaluation involves collecting qualitative data from multiple interviews with test participants and managing a database to store the data.
    • A useful database attribute for formative evaluation is ParticipantID, InterviewText, InterviewNumber.
    • Summative evaluation is different from formative evaluation because it focuses on the extent to which specified criteria are satisfied.

    Data Visualization

    • In the context of justifying design, parallel coordinates visualizations are useful in describing design space.
    • A grey cloud on a weather map is an icon in semiotic terms.
    • Query relaxation in general selection is highlighting all objects that belong to the same category as a selected object.
    • When depicting bivariate data, a scatterplot might be a good depiction, but no trend lines should be drawn.

    Data Encoding and Channel Interference

    • In relation to data encoding, trees, flowers, and bushes are nominal.
    • There may be channel interference between position and size.
    • The expressivity of a channel is dependent on its effectiveness.

    Data Collection and Objectivity

    • Performance data is not always objective.
    • A video recording of a participant's actions is quantitative and objective data.
    • Preference data is related to perception data because they are both qualitative.

    Scatterplots and Data Representation

    • A SPLOM used to present 9-dimensional data would contain 36 scatterplots.
    • For large graphs, a heat map with X1 and X2 used for the orthogonal x-y axes, and 6 hues used for the values of X3 would be an effective representation.

    Spring Model Algorithm

    • When using a basic spring model algorithm to analyze complex data, the distance metric is simple geometric distance in the high-dimensional space.
    • If you plan to lay out 10000 objects, using the same 50 dimensions, each iteration of the spring model would take roughly 4 times longer than before.

    QOC Notation

    • Focuses on the options available for making a choice

    Interacting with a Large Database

    • Using SQL to interactively define queries over a large database
    • Allows users to see data objects that match the query with varying levels of accuracy

    Bertin's Visual Variables

    • Are either unordered or quantitative
    • Do not have the same pre-attentive properties
    • Are not independent of each other

    Chernoff Face Glyph

    • Can be used to represent information beyond just a person
    • Is suitable for visualising low-dimensional data sets
    • Does not have a fixed size requirement (e.g., 5 times bigger)

    Semiotics

    • A grey cloud on a weather map is an icon
    • Icons represent the thing they depict

    Query Relaxation

    • An example is zooming into a particular area to see objects of interest in more detail
    • Allows for a more focused exploration of the data

    Depicting Bivariate Data

    • When one variable is quantitative and the other is categorical, a scatterplot might be a good depiction
    • No trend lines should be drawn on the scatterplot

    Linked Views

    • Selecting a rectangular area on a map of data creates a declarative query
    • The same query can be used in a linked bar chart, with one bar per month
    • The selected items could be in any combination of bars

    The Visualisation Pipeline

    • Highlights the importance of transforming data
    • Depicts four dependent processes from data to view
    • Includes a step for displaying visual structures as a user view

    Design Space

    • Considering an additional data set option increases the design space
    • The design space grows exponentially with the addition of new options
