Correlation Matrix


A correlation matrix is a matrix giving the correlations between all pairs of data sets. The example above shows the correlation matrix for Phage T7 Proteins. Red indicates high correlation and blue indicates low correlation. Red is pinned to a value of 1, which means perfect correlation in statistics, whereas blue approaches 0, meaning no correlation in statistics. This could be used to determine correlation between geographic phenomena.
