New cGAP framework visualizes high-dimensional categorical data

Researchers have developed a new visualization framework called cGAP (categorical Generalized Association Plots) designed to effectively display high-dimensional categorical data. This method uses Homogeneity Analysis (HOMALS) to embed data points and category levels in a 3D space, which is then mapped to RGB colors for interpretability. cGAP integrates multiple views, including a heatmap of the raw data, subject proximity, and variable proximity, and employs seriation algorithms to reveal clusters and structure within the data.

IMPACT Provides a novel method for visualizing complex categorical datasets, potentially aiding analysis in fields like genetics and social sciences.

    cGAP: Generalized Association Plots with HOMALS-Guided Heatmaps for Visualization of High-Dimensional Categorical Data

    High-dimensional categorical data arise in genetics, biomedicine, and the social sciences, yet visualization tools for such data remain far less developed than those for continuous variables. Existing methods either scale poorly, rely heavily on low-dimensional displays detached …
