Abstract

The constantly increasing capabilities of database storage systems leads to an incremental collection of data by business organizations. The research area of Data Mining has become a paramount requirement in order to cope with the acquired information by locating and extracting patterns from these data volumes. Possibilistic networks comprise one prominent Data Mining technique that is capable of encoding dependence and independence relations between variables as well as dealing with imprecision. It will be argued that the learning of the network structure only provides an overview of the qualitative component, yet the more interesting information is contained inside the network parameters, namely the potential tables. In this paper we introduce a new visualization technique that allows for a detailed inspection of the quantitative component of possibilistic networks.
