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.
