ADVANCED VISUAL SYSTEMS

A variety of different products are offered within
that AVS family for data visualization:
a) Data visualization Kit : includes objects , data
structures , and function libraries for preprocessing
data e.g SCALING , THERSHOLDING.

b) Graphics Display Kit: includes library of rendering
techniques for viewing 2 d n 3d images
c) User Interface kit : allows the user to quickly
construct user interfaces for both UNIX and windows
platforms

d) Database Kit: allows access to data in relational db
for data extraction

ALTA ANALYTICS
Alta Analytics has a visualization tool for very high
dimensional spaces of high cardinality categorical
data
This tech can also be used for following links
between entities , for instance , in tracking down the
links of transactions in
.. MONEY LAUNDERING: where each entity might be a
person or organization that handles transactions of
money

.. ESPIONAGE: where each entity would be a person
and the links would represent which people they
associate with whom their associates associate with.
BUSINESS OBJECTS
Business Objects includes a tree visualization tool
with their data mining tool. The visualization allows the
user to graphically see the size and shape of the
decision tree and to quickly understand the population
size and densities of prediction values in each node
within the tree, both numerically and with color.
IBM
IBM provides a wide variety of visualization
services, among which are some of the most
creative commercially available. These include
.. Parallel coordinates.
Diamond
The Visual Data Explorer


PILOT SOFTWARE
As part of pilots Discovery server tool for data mining in
relational databases, several visualization techniques
are utilized to display the results of the data mining .
For data mining in particular , two visualization
tools are employed:-

PILOT SEGMENT VIEWER:- allows the user to
visualize the size ,makeup , and ranked order of
response of response of each customer segment for a
particular marketing offer.
PILOT PROFIT CHART:- allows the user to visualize the
profit or lift gained from the predictive data mining for a
particular marketing offer.


SILICON GRAPHICS
Silicon graphics provides a sophisticated data
mining toolkit with associated visualization software
that includes:-
A rule visualizer
A tree visualizer that allows for dynamic fly-through
of the data.
A map visualizer that displays two predictors for
each spot on the map
A sophisticated scatter visualizer
Evidence visualizer
