Financial Planning Decision Processes using Visual Analytics
This a joint project with Purdue University Department of Economics and PURPL Lab and SCIENCE Lab examining the decision process as applied to the practical task of choosing a financial portfolio. The project implements PortfolioCompare, an exploratory visual analytics tool that allows the casual non-expert decision-maker to quickly create, compare and select among several investment portfolios consisting of different financial instruments. PortfolioCompare features two separate visual analytics displays which allow the decision-maker to interactively analyze risk and return aspects of each portfolio considered in order to choose a portfolio that is appropriate for the decision-maker’s risk tolerance.
