Using Multiple Views for Data Analysis,
Abstract
When a data analyst meets a complex dataset, graphics displays giving overall summaries are examined first, then more specific displays that highlight observed features are studied. Frequently, this involves selection of subsets, and point-and click-methods are intuitive and effective. Sometimes the observed features are investigated by altering details of the analysis, and then an interactive command interface (like S) can be more useful. A rainfall dataset with geographic and time components is used as an example. Graphics displays are done in a modified version of S that permits multiple graphics windows, and this is compared with xlispstat, xgobi, and datadesk.
