Tangent Screen: An Innovative Approach to Visualizing Complex Data
Visualizing complex data can be challenging for many data analysts. Tangent screen, developed by Aptima Inc., is an innovative approach to visualizing complex data that can facilitate more efficient and accurate analysis. Tangent screen is a data visualization tool that uses an interactive approach to help the user quickly explore, identify, and analyze relationships in large datasets.
Tangent screen works by displaying a two-dimensional grid of data points, with each point representing a single data value. The user can then interact with the grid to select a range of values, such as a range of years or a region of the country. The tangent screen then computes a tangent line, which is a line connecting two points in the two-dimensional space. The user can then adjust the angle of the tangent line to explore the relationship between the two selected data points.
The tangent screen provides several advantages over traditional data visualization tools. First, the interactive nature of the tangent screen allows the user to quickly explore the data and identify relationships between data points. Second, the tangent screen allows the user to quickly visualize multiple variables simultaneously, making it easier to identify correlations between variables. Finally, the tangent screen provides a more intuitive and efficient way for the user to analyze complex data.
Tangent screen has been used in a variety of applications, including medical research, financial analysis, and marketing. For example, Tangent screen has been used in medical research to quickly identify correlations between patient symptoms and medical treatments. In financial analysis, it has been used to quickly identify correlations between stock prices and macroeconomic indicators. Finally, in marketing, Tangent screen has been used to identify correlations between customer demographics and product sales.
In conclusion, Tangent screen is an innovative approach to visualizing complex data. It provides a more intuitive and efficient way for the user to quickly explore, identify, and analyze relationships in large datasets. Tangent screen has a wide variety of applications in different fields, including medical research, financial analysis, and marketing.
