Star Plots

The star plot is a graphical technique for displaying and analyzing the behavior of multivariate data for a single observation. Each star plot has an irregular polygon shape and equal distance radii representing different variables within a data set. Our star plot is created in a multi-plot format and examines the crime rate for each U.S. city listed.

Correlation Matrix

A Correlation Matrix is a type of matrix that establishes a relationship between two or more variables. This type of Matrix has data variable names that are listed across its top row and along its first column and a diagonal always consisting of ones that goes from its upper left corner to its lower right corner. Our correlation matrix shows the relationship between the “ top 100 cancer genes,” and it has a red diagonal running from its left to right corner that consist of one values.

Similarity Matrix

A Similarity Matrix is a matrix of scores which shows the similarity between two data values. This matrix compares and contrasts different signatures. While the white spaces represent signatures with insignificant commonalities,the deeper red hues represent those with greater similarity.

Steam and Leaf Plot

A Stem-and-Leaf plot is a graphical display that organizes numerical data in order of place value and assigns it to a category of either a "steam" or "leaf." In this type of map, the data values from the stem and leaf categories combine to form a numeric group. In this Stem-Leaf-plot of student science scores, the highest test score is a 97/A and lowest is a 56/F.

Doppler Radar

This is a Doppler Radar Map measuring the range and intesity of Hurrican Frances' movement through Florida in 2004. Doppler Radar uses an antena to measure the time and arrival of reflected pulses from distant objects. This measurement is called DBZ (decibels of Z). The scale of DBZ values can be seen at the side of this image and are reflected on the map with the most intense areas of this storm shown in orange and red hues.

Mental Map

This Mental Map was drawn by a sixth grader at “Zavala Elementary School” as part of a project conducted to measure a child’s awareness and understanding of environmental hazards. The project required that students draw a Mental Map of their route from school to home and to mark the places along that route that they liked or disliked. This sixth grader has outlined several key features that he or she encounters on his or her route to school, including sidewalks, street corners, homes, and greenery, but apparently has not marked his or her likes or dislikes along this route.
