dc.description.abstractThe exploration of high-dimensional real-valued data is one of the fundamental exploratory data analysis (EDA) tasks. Existing methods use predefined criteria for the representation of data. There is a lack of methods eliciting the user's knowledge from the data and showing patterns the user does not know yet. We provide a theoretical model where the user can input the patterns she has learned as knowledge. The background knowledge is used to find a MaxEnt distribution of the data, and the user is shown maximally informative projections in which the MaxEnt distribution and the data differ the most. We provide an interactive open source EDA system, study its performance, and present use cases on real data.en

dc.relation.fundinginforeal-valued data and the background distribution modeled by multivariate Gaussian distributions. The ideas could be generalized to other data types (e.g., categorical or ordinal data), or to higher-order statistics, likely in a straightforward manner, as the mathematics of exponential family distribution would lead to similar derivations. For concrete applications for our approach and the SIDER tool there is potential in, e.g., computational flow cytometry. Initial experiments with samples up to tens of thousands rows from flow-cytometry data [9] has shown the computations in SIDER to scale up well and the projections to reveal structure in the data potentially interesting to the application specialist.
