Enhancing Parallel Coordinates: Statistical Visualizations for Analyzing Soccer Data

Visualizing multi-dimensional data in an easy and interpretable way is one of the key features of Parallel Coordinate Plots. However, limitations as overplotting or missing density informations have resulted in many enhancements proposed for Parallel Coordinates. In this paper, we will include density information along each axis for clustered data. The main idea is to visually represent the density distribution of each cluster along the axes. We will show the applicability of our method by analyzing the activity phases of professional soccer players. A final discussion and conclusion will complement this paper.
