Table 3. Distance preservation measures of projections in Fig. 5.

The table describes the Spearman’s rank correlation (ρS_p) and the proportion of the first fourteen nearest neighbors preserved (14−nn). The selection of 14 neighbors corresponds to the average cluster size in the MIMIC-III dataset using Louvain community detection. Column “STAD-R graph” represents the abstract graph and column “STAD-R layout” represents the node placement generated by a ForceAtlas2 layout (Jacomy et al., 2014) which is the layout implemented in the interface. These results were obtained from a single execution, and stochastic methods such as t-SNE and ForceAtlas2 may provide different values between executions.

Global/local focus	Measure	MDS	t-SNE	UMAP	STAD-R graph	STAD-R layout

Local	14-nn	0.34	0.60	0.53	0.62	0.52
