This article discusses the role of data visualization in the process of analyzing big data. We describe the historical origins of statistical graphics, from the birth of exploratory data analysis to the impacts of statistical graphics on practice today. We present examples of contemporary data...

In high-dimensional data, one often seeks a few interesting low-dimensional projections that reveal important features of the data. Projection pursuit is a procedure for searching high-dimensional data for interesting low-dimensional projections via the optimization of a criterion function...

In this study a projection pursuit method is used to explore c <Superscript>d</Superscript> (square) contingency table data. The method operates on projection matrices constructed from the contingency tables using affine geometry and creates projections (or marginals) using a Radon transform. The projection matrices and...</superscript>
