| Abstract: |
Many data mining queries in astronomy involve the identification of objects that are similar or discernible in different aspects such as spectral shapes and features, light curves, morphology, positions, or other derived attributes. Analyses must go beyond conventional clustering algorithms that stop at computing a single proximity structure according to a specific criterion. We describe Mirage, a software tool designed for interactive exploration of the correlation of multiple partitional or hierarchical cluster structures arising in different contexts. The tool shows points, point classes, traversals of proximity structures in one, two, or higher dimensional projections, in linked views of various types or over an image background. It supports highly flexible layouts of plots, simple clustering procedures, intuitive graphical querying, and includes a command interpreter for further extensions. Mirage has found uses in many scientific and engineering contexts. |
