Iconography of correlations

Representation of the proximity of food profiles in Europe.

In exploratory data analysis, the iconography of correlations,[1][2] or representation of correlations, is a data visualization technique which replaces a numeric correlation matrix by its graphical projection onto a diagram, on which the “remarkable” correlations are plotted as solid lines (positive correlations) or dotted lines (negative correlations); either shorter lengths, or thicker lines, or both, represent greater correlation projection components.
