I develop indicators that summarize systems in few dimensions using dimensionality reduction. These indicators describe the overall behaviour of the system and the behaviour of the the objects contained in it in few dimensions that can be analysed more easily.

These indicators are very good at extracting general patterns from complex databases and that it can be applied to databases of very varying characteristics. We also find that indicators arevery good at extracting different kinds of changes occurring in the system,such as extreme events, permanent changes or trends. Therefore it is avery useful tool for general monitoring and exploratory data analysis. The approach is very flexible and can be applied to complex datasets, such aslarge data, nonlinear data, as well as data with many missing values.
