Visualizing Correlation
نویسنده
چکیده
The well-known fact that Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient between two variables is the cosine of the angle between the centered variable profiles suggests a way to visualize correlation. This angular representation of product-moment correlation is automatically displayed in an h-plot. Using ideas from multidimensional scaling, an alternative angular representation of correlation is proposed. The proposed method can be applied to an arbitrary matrix of correlation coefficients. Implications for cluster analysis are considered. The proposed method is applied to correlations of intelligence tests, pit props, and gene expression profiles.

Visualization of Global Correlation Structures in Uncertain 2D Scalar Fields
Visualizing correlations, i.e., the tendency of uncertain data values at different spatial positions to change contrarily or according to each other, allows inferring on the possible variations of structures in the data. Visualizing global correlation structures, however, is extremely challenging, since it is not clear how the visualization of complicated long-range dependencies can be integrat...
متن کاملReporting an Experience: Improving the Feulgen Staining Technique for Better Visualizing of Nucleus
Among different staining methods used to demonstrate the nuclear abnormalities, Feulgen is one of the most reliable method. Feulgen staining is specific, sensitive method for evaluating the DNA damages.It has been shown that using non-DNA specific stains for monitoring the nuclear anomalies lead to false-positive or false-negative results. From self-experience, immersing the stained slides in h...
متن کاملCURLER: Finding and Visualizing Nonlinear Correlation Clusters
While much work has been done in finding linear correlation among subsets of features in high-dimensional data, work on detecting nonlinear correlation has been left largely untouched. In this paper, we present an algorithm for finding and visualizing nonlinear correlation clusters in the subspace of high-dimensional databases. Unlike the detection of linear correlation in which clusters are of...

متن کاملVisualizing Relationships among Categorical Variables
Centuries of chart-making have produced some outstanding charts tailored specifically to the data being visualized. They have also produced a myriad of less-than-outstanding charts in the same vein. I instead present a set of techniques that may be applied to arbitrary datasets with specific properties. In particular, I describe two techniques – Nested Category Maps and Correlation Maps – for v...
