What and Why
• Most of the real world data typically has >=3 dimensions
• Curse of Dimensionality
• Understanding data of more than 3 dimensions
• Reduction techniques might be applied
• Backdrop of these might be the user want to still analyze the data based on
original attributes instead of transformed or reduced attributes.
• Visualization
• Visualizing dimensions >3 is not perceivable by human eye.
• Parallel Coordinates
• Philbert Maurice D’Ocagne in 1885
• Representing multiple dimensions with the help of parallel axes.
• Samples in data set are represented as poly lines spanning the axes.

Implementation Details
• WPF
– UI
• Code Behind- Application Logic
– C#
Challenges
• Representing heterogeneous data types
• Scaling the range of values to fit to fixed axes
Demo

Limitations
• Each axis can only be compared with two other axes at once;
– One to the left another to the right
• More range of values in each attribute might cause confusion
to the user. Use with caution with regards to categorical data.
• ASCII based text characters only[character sets and digits]
• Rearrangement of attributes | axes order might be required to
view patterns
– Good arrangement of axes could be dealt using heuristics.

Extensions & Applications

where clusters are formed.
