Lattices in Data Analysis: How to Draw Them with a Computer

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 255))

Abstract

There is a growing demand for lattice diagrams in concept analysis and for this computer programs are needed. The diagrams should not only reflect the structure of the concept lattices but also unfold views for interpreting the data. Therefore different methods of decomposing and representing concept lattices are discussed to clarify how computer programs can be designed for drawing such lattices. Examples are given too.
