Exploratory data analysis is the manipulation, summarization, and display of data to make them more comprehensible to human minds, thus uncovering underlying structure in the data and detecting important departures from that structure [4]. A complete data exploratory system thus has three major ingredients. We have dealt with display in our parallel coordinates technique, and with summarization in building the cluster hierarchy upon the data. We now turn to the third component, manipulations.
