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.
