Interactive Data Visualization With Multidimensional Scaling

Overview This paper discusses interactive techniques for MultiDimensional Scaling (MDS) and a two systems, named "GGvis" and "XGvis", that implement these techniques. MDS is a method for visualizing proximity data, that is, data where objects are characterized by dissimilarity values for all pairs of objects. MDS constructs maps (called "Configurations") of these objects in IRk by interpreting the dissimilarities as distances. As a data-mapping technique, MDS is fundamentally a visualization method. It is hence plausible that MDS gains in power if it is embedded in a data visualization environment. Consequently, the MDS systems presented here are conceived as extensions of multivariate data visualization systems ("GGvis" and "X/GGobi" in this case).
