1. A system comprising:
- a computer system including at least one processor configured to;
analyze a specification of a selected first visualization of a data set to determine information about a data visualization goal, wherein the specification describes the selected first visualization;
perform statistical analysis of the data set to determine statistical relations and strengths of the statistical relations between two or more variables in the data set, wherein performing the statistical analysis comprises;
identifying variables associated with dimensions of the selected first visualization based on statistics of individual variables in the data set;
building a multivariate model to predict dependence of a first variable on other variables of the data set based on the identified association of the first variable with a visualization dimension; and
determining a relation of the first variable and a second variable based on the multivariate model; and
generate an alternative visualization of the data set based on the specification of the selected first visualization of the data set and parameters comprising the determined information about the data visualization goal and the determined statistical relations and strengths, wherein the strengths indicate a mapping between the variables and visualization dimensions.

Abstract
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a system generates an alternative visualization of a data set based on a specification of a selected first visualization of the data set and parameters comprising information about a data visualization goal and statistical relations between two of more variables in the data set. Embodiments of the present invention further include a computer program product for generating an alternative visualization in substantially the same manners described above.
