Visualization and interactive analysis of blood parameters with InfoZoom
This paper describes the application of the data analysis tool InfoZoom to a database containing the results of blood examinations for about 400 patients with a suspect of thrombosis. The main goal was to find correlations between the measurements and the occurrence of a thrombosis. No automatic method for data mining is used. Instead, InfoZoom uses a novel technique to display data sets as highly compressed tables which always fit completely onto the screen. The user can interactively explore animated tabular views of the data. In this way, the user gets a feeling of the data, detects interesting knowledge, and gains a deep understanding of the data set.
