Market Basket Analysis Visualization On A Spherical Surface

This paper discusses the visualization of the relationships in e-commerce transactions. To date, many practical research projects have shown the usefulness of a physics-based mass-spring technique to layout data items with close relationships on a graph. We describe a market basket analysis visualization system (MAV) using this technique. This system is described as the following: (1) integrate...
