Visual analytics of a pandemic spread: VAST 2010 Mini Challenge 2 award: Thorough description of analytic process
نویسندگان
چکیده
The task of the VAST 2010 Mini Challenge 2 was to characterize the spread of an epidemic outbreak. The analysis should take into consideration symptoms, mortality rates and temporal patterns of the disease. Finally, the outbreak should be compared across different locations searching for anomalies. For the preprocessing and the automated analysis of the data we used the Konstanz Information Miner (KINME)1, which is a modular data exploration platform that enables the user to visually create dataflows, the R2 software for statistical computing and some selfwritten Java programs for data preprocessing. For conducting the visual investigations we applied Many Eyes3 and Protovis4, which compose scalable and customized views for datasets of interest.

We present a multiple coordinated view system VASTvis with a central view and several mini-views around the side. Each view is coordinated together, where operations are linked between windows. Furthermore, the user can perform sequential queries on the data through a series of brushing operations. The tool was used to analyse the VAST 2010 Mini Challenge 2 dataset of Hospitalisation Records. I...

Given a set of hospital admittance and death records, the challenge was to characterize the spread of a pandemic in terms of the attack and mortality rates, spatiotemporal patterns of onset and the recovery time. We began the analysis by preprocessing the hospital admittance records using the University of Pittsburgh’s CoCo classifier [1]. CoCo is a text classification software that takes hospi...
