Title: Dual Response Displays: The Incredible Flying Carpets

Abstract:

Typical formulation/property prediction models have several input (control) variables and several output (response) variables. The functions linking inputs and outputs may be explicit regression equations or "black boxes". In either case, inspection, validation, and use of such models is hampered by their inherent complexity. This paper presents examples of enhanced dual response graphs to explore formulation/property models. These examples show how enhancements such as flying carpets, arrows, and error balls can be integrated successively to create richly textured but easily accessible displays. Such displays can greatly help statisticians in communicating with scientists and engineers. The paper ends with a demonstration showing that constructing such displays does not require advanced software but can be accomplished in a spreadsheet like Excel.
