A correlation matrix is one that links all sets of data by presenting them together. This correlation matrix shows multiple values and compares each one side by side.

A similarity matrix is a matrix of recorded data and two separate means of information and compares their numerical data.

A stem and leaf plot is one that shows numerical values that stem off but the original is also presented and preserved. Numbers are placed in such a way to keep organization and to keep groupings together.

Box Plot

A box plot is a way of graphing to show numerous sums for different groups of data. There may also be values that do not fit into the numerical values shown in the box, and these are called outliers and may also be presented.

Histogram

A histogram is a graph that presents the data dealing mainly with density. Information is laid out close enough to each other to make it easier for comparison.

Parallel Coordinate Graph

A parallel coordinate graph is one that compares given values by placing them parallel to each other on the graph. This graph uses different colors to compare the values and places them parallel to each other for easy comparison.

Triangular Plot



A triangular plot is a plot that presents three different variables on each corner and plots the given information. This plot uses three different colors to present the information.
