“…A mathematical and/or statistical approach is required to deal with modern day datasets relations and correlations algorithms. This approach will also be expected to combine distinct datasets to create an interactive and user-friendly experience and practices for spatio-temporal data [134], [135].…”

Data visualization is a powerful skill for the demonstration of meaningful data insights in an interactive and effective way. In this survey article, we collected 70 articles from last five years (2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021)(2022) to identify, classify, and investigate the various scopes, aspects and theories of data visualization. We also investigated the powerful applications of data visualization in various domains and fields such as visualization apps for health sector, Internet of things (IoTs), business dashboards, urban traffic management, smart buildings and environmental data visualization. However, after thorough investigation and classification, we conclude that, a comprehensive study is still missing about interactive, effective and efficient data visualization survey explaining basic current state-of-the-art best interactive visualization techniques, webbased tools and platforms, best performance theories, data structures and algorithms. In this survey article, we perform a thorough investigation to fill the gap on theoretical, analytical, statistical models and techniques for improving the performance of visualization. Current primary and domain specific future challenges are also reviewed, and related future research directions and opportunities are recommended. 13 14 ''Interactive'' and ''Web-based'' are the most searched key-42 words during journals analysis process.43 A. TAXONOMY OF DATA VISUALIZATION ARTICLES 44 The taxonomy of data visualization is laborious task. Since, 45 several data visualization techniques, tools and platforms are 46 available to generate effective and interactive visualization. 47 However, in this survey, we classify data visualization with 48 respect to various scopes and applications where advanced 49 and interactive visualization techniques are still required to 50 make better informed decisions. In the first stage, this sur-51 vey collects 70 articles from last five years (2017-2022) 52 to identify the various scopes, aspects and application of 53 data visualization. We divide the 65 articles into 7 different 54 scopes. We also classify these articles according to their 55 domain research and approaches. The contribution of each 56 article has been highlighted and cited in the Table 1. In this 57 initial stage, this survey discusses the various aspects of 58 7 scopes. In Scope-1, the techniques to handling of various 59 types of data, graphs, colours interaction and its integration 60 are discussed. In Scope-2, the focus is on the data mining 61 networks, environment and structure. In Scope-3, the role of 62 decision-making techniques in data visualization is empha-63 sised. In Scope-4, data visualization for big data and its 64 emerging applications are analysed. Scope-5 shares the visu-65 alization competencies in data security. In Scope-6, the key 66 role of statistical analysis for visualization is explored. In the 67 final Scope-7, various applications are reviewed to check 68 the performance of visualization in specific domain. The 69 contribution of each sco...

Frontiers is more than just an open access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers journal seriesThe Frontiers journal series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of openaccess, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers journal series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to qualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation. What are Frontiers Research Topics?Frontiers Research Topics are very popular trademarks of the Frontiers journals series: they are collections of at least ten articles, all centered on a particular subject. With their unique mix of varied contributions from Original Research to Review Articles, Frontiers Research Topics unify the most influential researchers, the latest key findings and historical advances in a hot research area.

Climate change and human activities are having increasing impacts on the global water cycle, particularly on streamflow. Current methods for quantifying these impacts are numerous and have their merits and limitations. There is a lack of a guide to help researchers select one or more appropriate methods for attribution analysis. In this study, hydrological modeling, statistical analysis, and conceptual approaches were used jointly to develop a methodological options framework consisting of three modules, to guide researchers in selecting appropriate methods and assessing climatic and anthropogenic contributions to streamflow changes. To evaluate its effectiveness, a case study in the Upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) of China was conducted. The results suggest that the SWAT-based method is the best approach to quantify the influences of climate change and human activities on streamflow in the UYRB. The comprehensive assessment indicates that climate change is the dominant cause of streamflow changes in the UYRB, and the contribution of climate change, indirect human activities, and direct human activities to streamflow changes is about 7:1:2. The proposed framework is efficient and valuable in assisting researchers to find appropriate methods for attribution analysis of streamflow changes, which can help to understand the water cycle in changing environments.
