摘要：In this paper, we develop a visualization process for partial orders derivedfrom considering many numerical indicators on a statistical population. Theissue is relevant, particularly in the field of socio-economic evaluation, whereexplicitly taking into account incomparabilities among individuals provesmuch more informative than adhering to classical aggregative and compensativeapproaches, which collapse complexity into unidimensional rankings.We propose a process of visual analysis based on a combination of tools andconcepts from partial order theory, multivariate statistics and visual design.We develop the process through a real example, based on data pertaining toregional competitiveness in Europe.
