Breakdown visualization: multiple foci polyarchies of values and attributes

Breakdown analysis involves decomposing data into subgroups to allow for comparison and identification of problem areas. Good analysis requires the ability to group data based on attributes or values. Breakdown Visualization provides a mechanism to support this analysis through user guided decomposition and exploration of tabular data with a polyarchy structure. This is useful in domains such as sports statistics and corporate financial reports. Breakdown Visualization utilizes a spreadsheet format for comparison of adjacent visualizations.
