Abstract:
A method for visualizing a multi-dimensional data set, the method comprising the steps of:clustering the multi-dimensional data set into k clusters, each cluster having a centroid;selecting one of two distinct current centroids and three distinct non-collinear current centroids;generating a current 2-dimensional cluster projection based on the selected current centroids;selecting two distinct target centroids when two distinct current centroids are selected, at least one of the two target centroids being different from the two current centroids;selecting three distinct non-collinear target centroids when three distinct non-collinear current centroids are selected, at least one of the three target centroids being different from the three current centroids; andgenerating an intermediate 2-dimensional cluster projection based on the current centroids and the target centroids.
