Visualization of Statistical Uncertainty
نویسنده
چکیده
Visualization strives to present a comprehensive representation of information by displaying the data in a visual manner. An important aspect of comprehension is the understanding of error, confidence and other uncertainties present in the data or information. These additional characteristics of the information are often displayed as charts and graphs alongside the dataset, however it is often left out of visualizations. Techniques for visually representing the meaning of statistical descriptors including error, confidence and uncertainty can improve the effectiveness of visualizations used for data exploration and decision making.

Visualization of Uncertainty in Lattices to Support Decision-Making
Lattice graphs are used as underlying data structures in many statistical processing systems, including natural language processing. Lattices compactly represent multiple possible outputs and are usually hidden from users. We present a novel visualization intended to reveal the uncertainty and variability inherent in statistically-derived lattice structures. Applications such as machine transla...
متن کاملVisualizing Data with Bounded Uncertainty
Visualization is a powerful way to facilitate data analysis, but it is crucial that visualization systems explicitly convey the presence, nature, and degree of uncertainty to users. Otherwise, there is a danger that data will be falsely interpreted, potentially leading to inaccurate conclusions. A common method for denoting uncertainty is to use error bars or similar techniques designed to conv...
متن کاملLeveraging Uncertainty Visualization to Enhance Multilingual Chat
Machine translation offers much promise for improving workplace communication among colleagues situated in offices in different parts of the world. Many corporations use instant messaging chat as a means of facilitating communication, however current translation quality is too low to feasibly use it in a critical setting. Statistical translation systems generate a ranked list of hypotheses, but...
متن کاملVisually-Weighted Regression
Uncertainty in regression can be efficiently and effectively communicated using the visual properties of statistical objects in a regression display. Altering the “visual weight” of lines and shapes to depict the quality of information represented clearly communicates statistical confidence even when readers are unfamiliar with the formal and abstract definitions of statistical uncertainty. Her...

Introduction: GATE (Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission) is a Monte Carlo simulation platform developed by the OpenGATE collaboration since 2001 and first publicly released in 2004. In Geant4, each physics process is described by a model (several models are sometimes available for a given physics process) and a corresponding cross-section table. All Geant4 physics model...
