Abstract

The parallel coordinate plot is a graphical data analysis technique for plotting multivariate data. The parallel coordinate plot overcomes the visualization problem of the Cartesian coordinate system for dimensions greater than 4. But, using different ordering of coordinate axes in the parallel coordinate plot of the same data may make different interpretations. Hence, we can use the regular polyprism parallel coordinate plot as an alternative for overcoming the variable arrangement problem of the parallel coordinate plot.

평행좌표그림은 다변량자료를 시각화하는 하나의 방법이다. 평행좌표그림은 4차원 이상의 직각좌표계 표시의 어려움을 극복할 수 있는 그림이다. 그러나 변수 축의 배열에 따라 같은 자료에 대하여도 다른 해석이 가능하다. 변수 선택 문제를 해결하는 한 가지 방법으로서 우리는 정다각기둥평행좌표그림을 제안할 수 있다.
