CORE DEFINITION

A network-like graph formed by radiating multiple dimension axes from a central point and connecting the scores on each axis (also known as a radar chart).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Multi-dimensional assessment visualization. At a glance, you can see the strength distribution and overall balance of each dimension.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

By taking points on concentric axes and connecting them to form a polygon, multiple dimensional indicators are compared in one chart; the shape and area intuitively reflect the profile and balance.

Overfitting

In mathematical modeling, overfitting is the production of an analysis that corresponds too closely or exactly to a particular set of data, and may therefore fail to fit to additional data or predict future observations reliably. An overfitted model is a mathematical model that contains more parameters than can be justified by the data.

Lampshading

A lampshade is a fixture that envelops the light bulb to redirect the light it emits. The shade is often affixed onto a light fixture to reduce the intensity of the light to observers, shield the light from a harsh environment, or for decoration by altering the color or creating shadows. Lampshades …
