Constructing and reconstructing the reorderable matrix

摘要

We consider the backgrounds, applications, implementations, and user interfaces of the reorderable matrix originally introduced by Jacques Berlin. As a new tool for handling the matrix, we propose a new kind of interface for interactive cluster analysis. As the main tool to order the rows and columns, we use the well-known barycenter heuristic. Two user tests are performed to verify the usefulness of the automatic tools.
