Abstract
Visualization of high-dimensional data sets is disclosed, particularly the display of a network model for a data set. The network, such as a dependency or a Bayesian network, has a number of nodes having dependencies thereamong. The network can be displayed items and connections, corresponding to nodes and dependencies, respectively. Selection of a particular item in one embodiment results in the display of the local distribution associated with the node for the item. In one embodiment, only a predetermined number of the items are shown, such as only the items representing the most popular nodes. Furthermore, in one embodiment, in response to receiving a user input, a sub-set of the connections is displayed, proportional to the user input. In another embodiment, a particular item is displayed in an emphasized manner, and the particular connections representing dependencies including the node represented by the particular item, as well as the items representing nodes also in these dependencies, are also displayed in the emphasized manner. Furthermore, in one embodiment, only an indicated sub-set of the items is displayed.
