Abstract

The problem of visual presentation of multidimensional data is discussed. The projection methods for dimension reduction are reviewed. The chapter deals with the artificial neural networks that may be used for reducing dimension and data visualization, too. The stress is put on combining the selforganizing map (SOM) and Sammon mapping and on the neural network for Sammon's mapping SAMANN. Large scale applications are discussed: environmental data analysis, statistical analysis of curricula, comparison of schools, analysis of the economic and social conditions of countries, analysis of data on the fundus of eyes and analysis of physiological data on men's health.
