What problem does it solve?

High-dimensional data is difficult to interpret visually and analyze directly, requiring dimensionality reduction techniques to reveal structure and patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dimensionality Reduction: Mapping complex data into 2D or 3D for visualization.
  • Clustering Preprocessing: Preparing high-dimensional data for clustering algorithms like HDBSCAN.
  • Supervised Embedding: Separating classes while maintaining data topology for classification tasks.
  • Example: Visualize gene expression data to identify distinct cell populations in biomedical research.

Quick Start

Load your dataset into a variable data, then create a UMAP object with target labels to produce a 2D embedding suitable for plotting or further analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce high-dimensional data for visualization?

You can reduce dimensions for visualization by mapping complex data into a 2D or 3D space. This process preserves the underlying structure and relationships of the original high-dimensional dataset.

When do I need dimensionality reduction before clustering?

Dimensionality reduction is needed before clustering when preparing high-dimensional data. It maps the data into a lower-dimensional space to facilitate algorithms like HDBSCAN in identifying distinct groups.

Can I use supervised embedding for classification tasks?

Supervised embedding separates classes while maintaining data topology for classification tasks. It maps data into a lower-dimensional space that specifically preserves the relationships needed for accurate classification.

What is the best way to visualize gene expression data to identify cell populations?

The best way to visualize gene expression data is reducing its dimensionality to map the complex data into a 2D space. This reveals structural patterns to identify distinct cell populations in biomedical research.

How do I prepare a dataset to produce a 2D embedding for plotting?

To produce a 2D embedding for plotting, load your dataset into a variable. Apply dimensionality reduction with target labels to map the high-dimensional data into a lower-dimensional space suitable for analysis.
