    En este artículo, se desarrolla un proceso de visualización para órdenes parciales derivados al considerar varios indicadores numéricos de una población estadística. Esto es relevante parcialmente en el área de la evaluación socioedonómica donde se toma en cuenta explicitamente incomparabilidades entre los individuos y resulta ser más informativo que la agregación clásica y compensativa que colapsa la complejidad en rankings unidimensionales. Se propone un proceso de análisis visual basado en la combinación herramientas y conceptos de la teoría de orden parcial, estadítica multivariada y diseño usual. Se desarrollo el proceso a través de un ejemplo real, basado en datos de competitividad regional en Europa.

    In this paper, we develop a visualization process for partial orders derived from considering many numerical indicators on a statistical population. The issue is relevant, particularly in the field of socio-economic evaluation, where explicitly taking into account incomparabilities among individuals proves much more informative than adhering to classical aggregative and compensative approaches, which collapse complexity into unidimensional rankings. We propose a process of visual analysis based on a combination of tools and concepts from partial order theory, multivariate statistics and visual design. We develop the process through a real example, based on data pertaining to regional competitiveness in Europe.
