Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional statistical model-based techniques are used for data prediction, then predictions can be generated, but accuracy deteriorates due to unrealistic assumptions and lack of human involvement
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates visual accuracy indicators that provide feedback on prediction quality, allowing users to assess and adjust predictions based on actual data patterns and domain knowledge, thereby improving accuracy while maintaining realistic assumptions about the data
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables users to directly interact with the prediction process by adjusting smoothing intervals and modifying predictions based on their domain expertise, allowing the system to serve itself through user-guided refinement rather than relying on fixed statistical models
2Measurement precision
If large amounts of data are collected to improve prediction accuracy, then prediction quality improves, but difficulty of analysis increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the data into time slices and applies different smoothing intervals to different portions of the data, making the analysis of large datasets more manageable by breaking them down into smaller, more interpretable segments that can be analyzed individually
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses visual accuracy indicators with color coding to represent prediction quality and data characteristics, transforming complex numerical data into intuitive visual representations that reduce analysis difficulty while maintaining high prediction accuracy
3Extent of automation
If conventional prediction techniques are used, then predictions can be generated automatically, but human involvement is excluded reducing adaptability
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts between automated prediction generation and human-guided refinement, allowing users to interact with the predictions and modify them based on their domain knowledge, creating a flexible system that adapts to different data characteristics and user needs

AI summary
To perform time slice-based visual prediction, a weighted moving aggregate of data values in a data set is calculated over previous time slices to predict data values based on interactive user input. A visual accuracy indicator is generated for display to indicate a quality of prediction of data values at different times. A visualization presents data values from the data set and the predicted data values, where the data values from the data set and the predicted data values are represented as corresponding cells.
