Welcome to Spinne. Spinne is program to check for distortions into projections plots of multivariate (multidimensional) data. Projection methods like principal component analysis (PCA), nonlinear mapping (NLM) or self-organizing map (SOM) are valuable algorithms to visualize high multidimensional data on a two-dimensional plane. Unfortunately, the reduction of the dimensionality involves distortions. To graphically localize the distortions of the projected data, spinne superimposed colored graphs onto the 2D plots.
