Correlation Matrix

1. Element 1 and short definition
2. Element 2 and short definition
3. Element 3 and short definition

Use when

• Representing the statistical correlations between pairs of variables in a set.

Don’t use when

• Representing the distribution of items across two axis variables, absent of statistical correlation values.
• Displaying the distribution of a set of items relative to three variables, one of which is expressed through the size of the plotted item. Instead use a bubble chart.

Use a monochromatic or analogous color scale with lighter shades for smaller values and darker shades for larger values. If there's an important central value, you can use a divergent color scale to show differences from the center.

A heatmap visually demonstrates the magnitude of values using variations of color, without numerical labels.
