A population profile is a chart showing the number of people as a function of their ages. The above population profile demonstrates the connection between ages and gender in the York region in 2001. It also shows the projected age and gender composition in 2026.

Similarity Matrix

In the similarity matrix above, the pixels of 512 photographs were analyzed. This was done by grouping pictures from similar events into distinct categories and then running a similarity matrix to see how the pixels of the different pixels corresponded. The blue pixels show a correlation of 0 while the red pixels show a correlation of 1. A similarity matrix is a matrix of scores which express the similarity between two data points. 

Correlation Matrix

A correlation matrix is a matrix that gives correlations between all pairs of data sets. It is a table that contains correlation coefficients among several markets in different time frames. 

Stem and Leaf Plot

Stem and leaf plots are a method for showing the frequency with which certain classes of values occur. It summarizes the shape of a set of data (the distribution) and provides extra detail regarding individual values. The data is arranged by place value. The digits in the largest place are referred to as the stem while the digits in the smallest place are known as the leaf. They are great organizers for large amounts of information. The stem and leaf plot above gives an example of the ages of people at a family reunion. For example, the ages are 1, 8, 9, 32, 34, 37, 45, 51, 55, and 81.

Box Plot

Box plots are an excellent tool for conveying location and variation information in data sets, particularly for detecting and illustrating location and variation changes between different groups of data. The above box plot compares four machines for energy output. It reveals that machine has a significant effect on energy with respect to both location and variation.

Histogram

This example of a histogram shows the relationship between cars and how many miles they can get per gallon. A histogram is a graphical representation showing a visual impression of the distribution of data.  It displays data using bars of different heights.

Windrose

The windrose is from Fresno, California in April. It is based on 30 years of hourly wind data. A windrose is a graphic tool used by meteorologists to give a succinct view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location. Because of its circular format, it shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions.
