Graphs from Features: Tree-Based Graph Layout for Feature Analysis

Feature Analysis has become a very critical task in data analysis and visualization.Graph structures are very flexible in terms of representation and may encode important information on features but are challenging in regards to layout being adequate for analysis tasks.In this study, we propose and develop similarity-based graph layouts with the pu
