contents A common challenge in data analysis is uncovering relationships between predictors and responses in problems involving large numbers of both. When the number of predictors and responses is limited, visual approaches are particularly effective. We present an R package, pandemonium, designed to explore such problems by combining cluster analysis with linked visualisations. Clustering is performed in one set of variables to identify regions with similar patterns in that space. The resulting clusters are simultaneously visualised in both spaces using linked views based on non-linear dimension reduction and animated tours. We introduce the package through two examples that illustrate different types of linked spaces. In the first example, we consider how a set of input variables is mapped to latent activations in a neural network regression model, to identify input combinations that result in similar activation patterns. In the second example, we analyse a complex multivariable mathematical model arising in physics to investigate how structure in the predictor space relates to the responses.
