Visual Data Analysis and Visualization for Health Science Robert S Laramee

Visualization is Good For… Visualization, in order to: Explore no a-priori knowledge about the data, Visualization serves to explore the data Analyze There is a hypothesis, Visualization Serves to Confirm/Refute (Disprove) Present The data characteristics are well known, Visualization. Serves to communicate the results Accelerate Gain a quick overview, fast analysis 2

Example: Public Health Data Goal: Understanding Public Health Analogue Solution: Hire More NHS Staff Digital (Software) Solution: collect diagnoses  millions of records, multivariate, couple with geography ‹#›

Example: Geography 4

Example: Multiple, Coordinated, Linked Views Goal: Understanding Flow Around Turbines for optimal placement Analogue Solution: Install Real Turbines Digital (Software) Solution: Computational Fluid Dynamics Data 5
