Abstract

Numerical data mining is a task for which several techniques have been developed that can provide a quick insight into a practical problem, if an easy to use common software platform is available. VISRED- Data Visualisation by Space Reduction presented here, aims to be such a tool for data classification and clustering. It allows the quick application of Principal Component Analysis, Nonlinear Principal Component Analysis, Multi-dimensional Scaling (classical and non classical). For clustering several techniques have been included: hierarchical, k-means, subtractive, fuzzy kmeans, SOM- Self Organizing Map (batch and recursive versions). It reads from and writes to Excel sheets. Its utility is shown with two applications: the visbreaker process part of an oil refinery and the UCI benchmark problem of breast cancer diagnosis.
