Empirical Evaluation of Interactive Visualizations for Preferential Choice

An Empirical Evaluation of Interactive Visualizations for Preferential Choice by Jeanette Bautista and Giuseppe Carenini

Short Description

The authors of this paper tried to not only show the usefulness of Value Charts to support preferential choice, which is finding the best option out of a set of alternatives. Furthermore, they compared two types of Value Charts: a horizontal version against a vertical version. The outcome of this study was that Value Charts in general and in particular Vertical Value Charts (abbreviated VC+V) seemed to be very effective in supporting decision making.
