Data Comparison

Supervisor can produce the following plots to compare data from multiple domains and assay types:

• Box and Whisker Plots – Provide a visual representation of the statistics and dispersion of a data set.
• QQ Plots – Visually compare two distributions to determine their similarity. For example, you may wish to compare original assay results with repeat assays from a different laboratory.
• Scatter Plots – Directly compare paired data and the degree of scatter or spread of results on the graph to give a visual indication of the correlation between the attributes.
• Hexbin Plots – Show the relationship between two variables, such as assay types, in your data set.
• Correlation Matrix – Display the correlation between all the possible pairs of variables.
• Contact Analysis – Show whether boundaries represent real geological contacts.
• Global Topcut Analysis – Assess data distribution and reduce the impact of extreme data values by setting maximum values on the entire dataset.
• Local Topcut Transition Model – Reduce the impact of extreme values by re-weighting samples depending on their distribution.
