Below is a visualization tool, MOTC, which will allow you to explore the answers of 1000 college students at Fictitious University to eight questions. There are three interesting facts that can be visually mined. Click on the leftmost bar/square and see what the boys are up to...
Each MOTC (bar) shows the responses to each of the eight questions. The number of categories for each question is shown by the number of bins (boxes) in the MOTC. The number of responses to each category are shown by the relative percentage of the category (e.g., the last two have three and five categories, with an fairly equal number for the first and a very disproportionate distribution for the second). Positioning your mouse over the individual MOTC will show the question name and category name.
Clicking on a MOTC's bin will show the distribution of that category amongst the other questions. For example, clicking on the category of 'yes' in the drink? variable will show that all are all in the category of 50K+ in the variable Income-- the first rule to be found: IF Drink? = "yes" THEN INCOME = 50K. Notice that the converse is somewhat true.
MOTC can serve as a front-end to any data query/data store as all data can be binned. Although this example has 8 questions, it could easily scale to 100.
It is
intended to help data analysts search for hypotheses. Once interesting
hypotheses are found, a statistical technique, prediction analysis, can be used
to verify it. There is a brief paper that describes more of MOTC presented at the
Hawaii International Conference on Systems
Sciences. A more detailed
description is in the paper published in the Journal
of Management Information Systems.
For applications of the system, see the paper published in the Communications of the Association of Information Systems.
As previously mentioned, there are three rules. I gave you one, so now go find the other two...
