Correlation identifies the degree of statistical relationship between measures. The
strength of a
correlation is described as a number between -1 and 1. A value that is close to -1 implies a
strong
negative correlation, a value that is close to 0 implies little or no correlation, and a value that is
close to 1 implies a strong
positive correlation.
For a
heat map or a simple
scatter plot, the correlation is identified by a text label in the visualization legend. Select
to view additional details about the correlation,
including the exact correlation value.
For a
scatter plot matrix, the correlation for each
plot is identified by a colored border around the plot. The visualization legend displays
a key for the color values. Select
to view additional details about the correlation,
including the exact correlation values for each plot.
Note: For nonlinear fit types,
a scatter plot matrix displays additional plots to show each intersection
of variables in two orientations. For example, if a scatter plot matrix
plots the variables A, B, and C, then plots are created for both A
* B and B * A when a nonlinear fit line is applied.
For a correlation matrix, the correlation for each cell is identified by the color
of the cell background. The visualization legend displays a key for the color values.
The
data tip for each cell displays the correlation value.
