VISUALISATION

Here at Seventh Sense Software we know that presentation matters and we appreciate the importance of fine visualisation. No matter how good the underlying mathematics may be, poor presentation of data or results can mean the difference between success and failure for a research project or business opportunity.

And that is why we have worked so hard to make sure that the Chameleon Statistics suite offers some of the finest statistical visualisation techniques available anywhere. Below we give just a small sample of the kinds of visualisation provided.

The scatter plot view provides one, two or three-dimensional representations of any multivariate data set. All scatterplot images can be rotated in two or three dimensions in real time, even as you work on the data. The scatter plot view is highly configurable, from the choice of visualisation scheme to the selection of colours and symbols for classes to the font settings for sample labels. The 3D orientation of the axes, the position of origin, and the scale are all freely adjustable.

The binary tree view displays the dendogram resulting from hierarchical clustering. The dendogram is also fully configurable, viewable horizontally and vertically in city block or pyramidal schemes and in a wide range of styles. Both clusters and subclusters of clusters may be defined and coloured as desired. The dendogram can be traversed and manipulated easily using the mouse and cursor keys. Both log scale and linear scale are supported for merging heights. [Continued...]
