Abstract: In
this talk, we will demonstrate how interactive statistical visualization can
be applied to a variety of data sets from medical research projects. We will
start with the visualization of functional activity data in sleep medicine.
Next, we will demonstrate how graphics can be used to interactively explore
relationships of categorical variables and then further assess numerical results
in the context of expert raters' agreement for diagnosing carpal tunnel
syndrome. Finally, we will show how so-called micromaps
can be used to visualize the spread of the West Nile Virus and the occurrence
of oral clefts across the United States.
Overall, there is a huge potential for statistical visualization in the
context of medical data that often is not exploited at all.
