Abstract:
|
Classical statistical graphics dealt with strong relationships in small datasets. More recent techniques allow these relationships to be extended to datasets with many observations or variables. Seeing weak relationships in large datasets is still a challenging problem, whether the data are 100k SNPs on a few hundred people or a few dozen pulse waveform summaries on several thousand people. Is graphical exploration still useful, and how can we filter the signal from the noise? Can we get useful methods adopted in a field that still uses red-green contrasts to display basic data?
