			'''Exploration vs. Presentation [Fisher, 2010]:'''
			{\| border="1" style="text-align:left;"
			! !! Exploration !! Presentation
			\|-
			! Characteristics
			\| Data is surprising.<br>Data may have outliers.<br>Data is likely to move unpredictably.<br>Viewer controls interaction. \|\| Data is well known to the presenter.<br>Data has been cleaned.<br>Viewer is passive.
			\|-
			! Goals/procedures
			\| Analyze multiple dimensions at once.<br>Change mappings many times.<br>Look for trends and holes.\|\| Present fewer dimensions to make a point.<br>Walk through dimensions clearly.<br>Highlight critical points.<br>Group points together to show trends and motion.

			* goal is unclear / not clearly defined
			* user has no clear question / hypothesis
			* undirected
			* user is driving force
			* highly interactive
			* versatile / open-ended

			{{Quotation\|Exploratory data analysis as the process of searching and analyzing databases to find implicit but potentially useful information, is a difficult task. At the beginning, the analyst has no hypothesis about the data. According to [[Tukey, John\|John Tuckey]], tools as well as understanding are needed [Tukey, 1977] for the interactive and usually undirected search for structures and trends.\|[Keim et al., 2006]}}
