Klappentext zu „Parallel Coordinates “
The breakthrough idea of parallel coordinates has enchanted many people with its cleverness and power. Al Inselberg, the source of that cleverness and power, ?nally shares the depth and breadth of his invention in this historically important book. I've been waiting impatiently for this exposition since I was captivated by Inselberg'slectureattheUniversityofMarylandin1979.Hehadalreadyunderstood the potential parallel coordinates has for generating insights into high-dimensional analysis and information visualization. In the following decades he polished the arguments, built effective software, and demonstrated value in important appli- tions. Nowabroadcommunityofreaderscanbene?tfromhisinsightsandeffective presentation. I believe that Inselberg's parallel coordinates is a transformational ideal that ´ matches the importance of Rene Descartes' (1596-1650) invention of Cartesian coordinates. Just as Cartesian coordinates help us understand 2D and 3D geometry, parallel coordinates offer fresh ways of thinking about and proving theorems in higher-dimensional geometries. At the same time they will lead to more powerful tools for solving practical problems in a wide variety of applications. It is rare to encounter such a mind-shattering idea with such historic importance. While Inselberg's insight and exposition opens the door to many discoveries, there is much work to be done for generations of mathematicians, computer sci- tists, programmers, and domain experts who will need to build on these innovative ideas.
Parallel coordinates is one of the leading methodologies for multidimensional visualization. Starting from geometric foundations, how do multi-dimensional lines, planes, curves, surfaces, and other higher-dimensional objects look in parallel coordinates? This text will explain how n-dimensional lines and planes can be represented in 2D through parallel coordinates. Topics include the visualization of multidimensional lines, minimum distances, planes, hyperplanes, clusters of "near" planes, proximities, multidimensional transformations, curves, surfaces, hypersurfaces, convexity, and interior-point construction algorithms. The last chapter explains in a non-technical way the technique's application to visual and automatic data mining with principles, guidelines, strategies and algorithms illustrated in detail on real high-dimensional datasets.
Key features: Systematic presentation of topics interlaced with applications to visual and automatic data mining, collision avoidance algorithms for air traffic control, geometric modeling and computer vision, decision support, information visualization; A large collection of exercises from the basics to advanced project topics and open research questions; Companion text for courses on informational visualization, multivariate statistics, linear algebra, and optimization; Interactive CD designed for classroom use includes visualizations of key topics and examples, coordinated with cross-references in the text; Extensive bibliography on multivariate/multidimensional visualization techniques and excellent index.
Parallel Coordinates is well-suited for the classroom or for reference, requiring only a sound foundation in linear algebra.

Rezension zu „Parallel Coordinates “
From the reviews:"Well done!"-Stephen Hawking, Cambridge UniversityParallel coordinates provide a means of visualizing geometric objects in many dimensions. They are particularly useful for displaying multivariate data and supporting multivariate analysis... This book is written as a textbook designed for use in a one semester course in applied mathematics or computer science... There are several applications discussed in the book. These include an extended example in air traffic control and collision avoidance, (where Inselberg's methods are used to display multiple flight trajectories), geometric modeling, computer vision, process control, statistics, automatic classification, and decision support. Inselberg is a very enthusiastic advocate of his methods and he has written a big book, bursting with ideas ... . Prerequisites for the book include some familiarity with linear algebra, a bit of basic multivariable calculus, and willingness to work through extended geometrical arguments.-MAA ReviewsThe book is very attractive visually, with enjoyable prose, rare historical references and splendid organization like the "fast track" and Interactive Learning Module (ILM). Parallel Coordinates is the first in-depth, comprehensive book describing a geometrically beautiful and practically powerful approach to multidimensional data analysis. I can highly recommend this book to everyone concerned with data analysis and visualization problems. The book is delightful. -Bernd Hamann, Professor of Computer Science, University of California, DavisFor me the parallel coordinates method was only a visualization and presentation tool, with no impact on data understanding... Now this book, from the very same parallel coordinates inventor, has changed everything. Now I see how the method's solid geometric foundation makes it both an ideal tool to understand high dimensional datasets and a source of novel ideas even for fields far from data analysis....there are few visualization
