The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Adjusting a Traverse

Adjusting a Traverse

In the site survey of a four-sided traverse, internal angles are essential to ensure geometric accuracy. The survey revealed that the sum of the measured internal angles was 359 degrees and 48 minutes, which is 12 minutes less than the expected 360 degrees. This discrepancy signals an error likely arising from measurement inaccuracies during the fieldwork.To rectify this error, the adjustment process involved distributing the 12-minute shortfall equally across the four internal angles. By...

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting

¹H NMR: Complex Splitting

A proton M that is coupled to a proton X results in doublet signals for M. However, NMR-active nuclei can be simultaneously coupled to more than one nonequivalent nucleus. When M is coupled to a second proton A, such as in styrene oxide, each peak in the doublet is split into another doublet.
Splitting diagrams or splitting tree diagrams are routinely used to depict such complex couplings. While drawing splitting diagrams, the splitting with the larger coupling constant is usually applied...

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments

Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments

In patients with renal impairment, drugs undergo significant changes in their pharmacokinetics, which require dosage adjustments to ensure safe and effective therapy.
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

How Data are Classified: Categorical Data

A variable, usually notated by capital letters such as X and Y, is a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each member of a population. Data are the actual values of variables. They may be numbers, or they may be words. Datum is a single value.
Data are classified based on whether they are measurable or not. Categorical data cannot be measured; instead, it can be divided into categories. For example, if Y denotes a person's party affiliation, some examples of Y include...

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

How Data are Classified: Numerical Data

Data that are countable or measurable in specific units are called numerical or quantitative data. Quantitative data are always numbers. Quantitative data are the result of counting or measuring the attributes of a population. Amount of money, pulse rate, weight, number of people living in a town, and number of students who opt for statistics are examples of quantitative data.
Quantitative data may be either discrete or continuous. All quantitative data that take on only specific numerical...

Area of Science:

Human-Computer Interaction
Data Visualization
Information Visualization

Background:

Data grouping is essential for simplifying and summarizing information in data visualization.
Current methods for adjusting automatic data grouping are often complex and time-consuming, requiring programmatic or multi-step menu-based adjustments.
Direct manipulation of grouping criteria is needed to enhance data exploration efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

To introduce Embedded Merge & Split (EMS), a novel interaction technique for direct adjustment of data grouping criteria.
To demonstrate EMS's application in manipulating bar charts and histograms for data grouping.
To provide design guidelines and evaluate EMS's effectiveness through user studies.

Main Methods:

Developed the Embedded Merge & Split (EMS) interaction technique for direct manipulation of data grouping.
Designed EMS to adjust data grouping criteria by manipulating width and position in bar charts and histograms.
Conducted two user studies to compare EMS with Window, Icon, Menu, and Pointer (WIMP)-based techniques.

Main Results:

EMS allows for direct manipulation of data grouping criteria within visualizations.
User studies indicated that EMS significantly reduces interaction time compared to WIMP-based methods.
Participants subjectively preferred the EMS technique over traditional approaches.

Conclusions:

EMS provides an intuitive and efficient method for adjusting data grouping in visualizations.
The technique has the potential to improve the user experience and effectiveness of data exploration.
Further research and design guidelines can support the broader adoption of EMS.
