Abstract

Cluster analysis is a popular method for data investigation where data items are structured into groups called clusters. This analysis involves two sequential steps, namely cluster formation and cluster evaluation. In this paper, we propose the tight integration of cluster formation and cluster evaluation in interactive visual analysis in order to overcome the challenges that relate to the black-box nature of clustering algorithms. We present our conceptual framework in the form of an interactive visual environment. In this realization of our framework, we build upon general concepts such as cluster comparison, clustering tendency, cluster stability and cluster coherence. Additionally, we showcase our framework on the cluster analysis of mixed lipid bilayers.
