Visualizing high-dimensional data can be problematic. A common method is Principal Component Analysis (PCA), but other methods include Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS), t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (t-SNE) and Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection (UMAP). This talk discusses the differences between these methods without going into complicated mathematics and will hopefully allow you to determine which type of plot is best for your data.

This will be a hybrid event. Please register at this link.

This session will be recorded, and materials will be shared with attendees a few days after the event.
