Multidimensional Data Visualization

by Gintautas Dzemyda

This book highlights recent developments in multidimensional data visualization, presentingaboth new methodsaandamodifications onaclassic techniques.aThroughout theabook, various aapplications ofamultidimensional data visualizationaare presented including itsauses inasocial sciences (economy, education, politics, psychology), environmetrics, andamedicine (ophthalmology, sport medicine, pharmacology, sleep medicine).The book provides recent research results in optimization-based visualization. Evolutionary algorithmsaand aatwo-level optimization method, based on combinatorial optimization and quadratic programming, are analyzed in detail. The performance of theseaalgorithms and theadevelopment of parallelaversionsaare discussed.Theautilization of newavisualization techniquesato improve theacapabilies ofaartificial neural networks (self-organizing maps, feed-forward networks)ais alsoadiscussed.The bookaincludesaover 100 detailedaimages presenting examples of the manyadifferent visualization techniques thatathe book presents.This book is intended for scientists and researchers inaany field of studyawhere complex andamultidimensionaladata must be represented visually."
