Star Plots


This star plot above was designed by NASA and is labeled MER IDD. The center represents the most desirable results, and the red line represents the handcrafted MER IDD, which is used for comparison and validation of the star plot.

Correlation Matrix


The image shown above is a calculated protein correlation matrix for phage T7. Correlated behavior ranges from high (red) to low (blue), and the triangular block of red reflects proteins involved in phage assembly, which is a highly coordinated process.

Similarity Matrix


The image above is an example of a Similarity plot graph. This specific graph shows similarities between variables and it shows the corelation between data. The similiar the data the greater the correlation and the higher the values the greater correlation beween the data sets.

Stem & Leaf Plot

This Stem & Leaf plot shows in the left column test scores 6 through 10, as 60% through 100%.  In the right column, the number correlates to the total numbers' percentage, and how many how that number there are, for example as shown: 7|2 = 72%. 

Box Plot


This box plot shows the tip of both whiskers on each box represent the maximum value and the minimum value, and the box part represents the value of 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and median value. 

Histogram

This Histogram represents for a company a specific number of employees on the y-axis, and their yearly salaries on the x-axis. A Histogram graph illustrates information in graph form much like a bar graph. 


Parallel Coordinate Graph

This parallel coordinate graph is used to express the relationships between several variables across the X and Y axis. Each variable is shown as a different shade of color.
