Visualization of uncertainty

This dissertation is about the visualization of data that is accompanied by some measure of uncertainty. By including information describing qualitative aspects of a data set within visualization, scientists are able to improve their understanding of the data by becoming more aware of its intrinsic characteristics. Such information is difficult to express visually. However, its inclusion is necessary to further the field of visualization. The work presented in this dissertation investigates the challenges encountered when working with uncertainty data and presents novel visualization methods to address these challenges.
