1. Visual Data Analysis and Visualization for Health Science Robert S Laramee

2. 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

3. 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

4. Example: Geography 4

5. 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
