North Atlantic Hurricane Trend Analysis using Parallel Coordinates and Statistical Techniques
One of the most challenging tasks in multidimensional multivariate data analysis is to identify and quantify the associations between a set of interrelated variables. In real-world climate studies, this task is even more daunting due to the uncertainty and complexity of dynamic, environmental data s...

One of the most challenging tasks in multidimensional multivariate data analysis is to identify and quantify the associations between a set of interrelated variables.
