VISUALIZATION OF DATA ON BASIS OF FRACTAL GROWTH
Philip VAN LOOCKE · Fractals · 2004
An algorithm for the visualization of n-dimensional binary spaces is considered. The algorithm is put in metric terms, and reformulated in terms of branching structures. The difference between metric and structural visualizations is discussed. Then, a hybrid method is proposed. Tree structures are grown in accordance with a metric error function. The method is illustrated with an example in the context of microbial taxonomy, and compared with a Kohonen map.
