Categorical data explorer

Client-sided visualization tool for categorical data (prototype).

• Using Highcharts and Handsontable, the tool displays observations in the shape of a two-dimensional bubble chart.
• It not only includes a chart, but also a corresponding table view for exploring the underlying raw data.
• Users can interactively define new subsets and include them in the chart.
• Furthermore the tool includes an SPSS-style contingency table view to display subset proportions.
