Star Plot



A star plot is a method of studying multivariate data where each star is one unique observation. Each star contains a set amount of variables that are studied for the whole set of stars. Each variable has a range that each star uses to record specific data used to compare with the rest of the stars. Star plots can compare a large amount of objects with a large number of the same variables. The image above is an example of a star plot that shows a set of sixteen stars that each share the same nine variables which can be compared at a glance that can show the particular advantages and disadvantages each car has in comparison to one another.
