2. Information overload in Statistical Analysis
• Very powerful tools to generate statistical
information (R)
• Linear visualization of the information
• Lots of information in numerical and graphical
form
• No links between information elements

3. Mind Mapping automation as a possible solution
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Tree structure
Grouping of related elements
Links between elements
Visual elements to improve display
Hyperlinks
Automatic generation of the Maps
Easy presentation of the information
Multimedia capabilities
A single compressed file
Free viewer

4. Example
• Investigating the effects of sports-related
concussion
• Simulated data are based on an online
assessment tool called IMPACT
(http://www.impacttest.com)
• Example taken from Coursera Statistics 1
course Princeton University
(C) Infoseg 2013

5. Caution
• This is just a very simple example
• Complexity can be increased to any level
• This can be done manually or (preferably)
using Mind Mapping automation
• The system can be used by teachers, students
or researchers

47. Comments about the comments
• They have to be added manually by the
teacher
• There are several possible types of comments
• All types can be used in a Mind Map

49. Conclusion
• Mind Mapping is a very interesting technique to
use in the visualization of Statistical Analysis
results
• You can do it manually (In case you have a lot of
free time)
• It is better to do it using Mind Mapping
automation 
