Title: How to map data to the circle (or anything else)
Abstract:
A common challenge in data analysis is to reduce a high-dimensional dataset to a low-dimensional approximation that can be visualized. In some recent work with Ranthony Clark and Tom Needham that started life as a redistricting project, we came up with our own method for mapping data onto a circle that suited our needs. The method ended up performing well in more general contexts as well. I’ll talk about the application we had in mind, introduce the method, and show some results.
