DESCRIPTION:Session by Dr Simon Rudkin. Part of the Methods North West lu
 nchtime seminars. \n\nData visualisation is a core component of the empi
 rical process\, from data exploration to the evaluation of models. Howev
 er\, visualising datasets with many continuous variables is challenging.
  To see the shape of data\, scatter plots (and their derivatives) are th
 e go-to graphics. Considering each variable as a dimension on the page\,
  we are limited to two directions\, with other variables needing to be c
 aptured in size or colour. Many solutions to viewing multi-dimensional d
 ata involve loss of information in dimensionality reduction\, or combine
  many plots of subsets of variables. Topological Data Analysis Ball Mapp
 er is a means to create an abstract two-dimensional visualisation of mul
 tivariate data without loss of information. A motivation for the method\
 , outline of the algorithm\, and look at the research agenda developing 
 the method are provided. This seminar explains why we all need to consid
 er the structure of our data and place data visualisation at the core of
  our empirical analyses.\n\nThis event is taking place online via Zoom -
  you can get the link by signing up to our event on Evenbrite.\n\nThis i
 s a precursor to a methods@manchester workshop on Topological Data Analy
 sis Ball Mapper\, which will run later in the Autumn.\n
